After an NCO has shown him how to put the flag in.

Having a military background is a good thing. It is character-forming.
However, a good education is, in my opinion, the best choice - always.
I would choose Uni, then become an Officer.
Then you´ll have a good foundation for your future life.

OMG!
What's wrong with young people today .......!

Sensitive topic for most veterans. Are you a veteran yourself?

May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter & goodwill.
And may the year ahead be full of contentment & joy.
To all of you who are deployed - Stay safe out there.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the welcome lads
