Cool, im not sure how i got a date so soon but i was very very lucky, i was told i had applied at the right time, if i had left it any later i would have to wait until next year like you.

The Black Watch.............what a great Regiment. Just saying the words makes me proud.

I have the medals of my uncle who served in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
