Hunt, Sam - Cpt
Written by the editorial staff at the MD44 press office!
Well what we can say about our beloved captain… I don’t know where to start. Sadly I can’t even how exactly we discovered Sam. He was certainly one of the very early members who was in fact going to join ‘the old group’ that I was inn previously. Before we all jumped ship and set up MD44, with Sam taking a very early leadership role and supporting myself in the very early process of “should we do this or not”. Thank god he said yes! He then jumped into the S/Sgt role when we were just doing ‘platoon HQ’, before the plans for MD44 grew and we formed ‘company HQ’ in which point his rank exploded to that of captain… save the jokes for later please. We all know my gags about Sgts and Cpts! Sam squared away most of his officers kit really quickly, with a little help from Nigella his very amusing fiancée… who when they do eventually get married, the members of MD44 will go in A-Class… or not go at all! That’s an order from me by the way, and not Sam… and certainly not Nigella! The WhatsApp chat is sometimes full of amusing videos of Sam teasing Nigella with his many comedy voices… that is when he’s not doing impressions of currently and past members! Much to everyone’s amusement. Poor Josephine the pizza girl being the usual target of most of Sam’s jokes!
Sam is by far the most grown up member of the group, despite not being the oldest… albeit that isn’t exactly hard and holds a very sensible and important role within the NHS babysitting doctors and surgeons (my words… not Sam’s) just in case the NHS gestapo somehow find this. Whilst Sam is certainly a bright spark and very capable of managing staff and being in charge of people... it’s a very different kettle of fish to when it comes to being hands on in a practice sense. Some people are born too wear a shirt and tie!
Sam instantly clicked with all members of the group and many consider him a good friend. His collecting areas have altered a few times, but the stable factor in his interests is the Warwick Regiment.
Sam (and Nigella) is one of those odd people who like dogs… or is it just me that is in the minority here… they have a dog thing called ‘Bundy’, who Sam regular says “A buz for bundy” whatever the hell that means!
As well as living history and his career in the NHS, Sam used to referee in football! I guess someone has too! Him and Nigella have also started an antiques and collectables company, a hobby of both of theirs. He is also looking at going into the reserves… how the hell he finds time for everything I have no idea… just putting up with Nige is hard work enough! (just kidding Nige, don’t hit me)
