Agree with the above.

I joined the RN to help make a difference.
It makes me fell good to know that when we do go out to third world country's that have been hit buy natral disasters that just being their brings their sprits up. When we stop drug trafficin we are stoppin the drugs hittin our streets.

i might mank and moan about my job some times but deep down I LOVE IT!

One of the most moving days in my life was visiting one of the cemetries, they are unbelievable and huge.

Much respect to them in the past, now and the future.

I joined the army in June 1989 at the tender age of 16 :'(,
now nearly 20 years on and still serving I still enjoy it,

I arrived at my First Unit after basic & trade training and the next day deployed to the first gulf war in 1990 aged only 17 and 10 months old. I was one of the youngest to be sent and I had my 18th birthday on 4th Jan 1991 only to recieve my Poll Tax payment book about 3 weeks later from Rushmoor Borough Council as my Unit was based in Aldershot before we deployed. I returned to Aldershot in April/May 1991 only to be sent straight back out with the rest of my Unit to Southern Turkey/ Northern Iraq to Help the Kurds. We returned about 4 months later and had some leave then we started training for a Unitied Nations deployment to Cyprus, during our 6 month deployment to Cyprus most of my unit including me recieved court summons from Rushmoor Council for un-paid council tax. I couldn't beleive it in the 18 months I had been at my unit we had only spend about 3 months in Aldershot the rest of the time we where deployed.

So the Army in there wisdom sent a representive on the Unit's behalf to the court to explain and handed over a cheque for the full amount then the following month the took the lot from our pay. We were then told as we hadn't been there for most of the last 18 months we could claim most of the money back from the Rushmoor Council >:(

I have a few relatives buried in France -- dad has been over a couple of times. It's a bit more poignant for him cos he flew Lancasters for 101 Sqn.

Not that many of them left now
