Ladies and Gentleman,
Please join me in the mess for a drink .
On this day 40 years ago I took the Queen's shilling and joined the army. I served until leaving upon retiring after over 24 years of service.
During my time I saw a lot of good and bad things, met lots of good people, some not so good. Saw quite a few countries, learnt a lot, did a lot, enjoyed my time greatly.
I still have contact with a lot of comrades ,lost quite a few in various conflicts.
So I would like to raise a glass to remember and to say thanks to my new friends on this forum who have made this an excellent experience
Cheers people
