I've been outside for 6 years and it's taken a year to complete the process but on the 10/01/06 I take up the Queens shilling once again, I've just picked up my travel warrant, all I need now are two roll mats and some Sheppy's cider and I'm set .
Whilst I may disagree with what you say, I will fight to the death for your right to say it.

Things must be bloody dire if they need blokes at the age of 60, don't they have barrack stanchions anymore? The three badgers used to tie down those jobs, storeman, driver, etc. but I reckon 3B's are in short supply nowadays, no stamina modern youth.

The Corps really has'nt changed all that much, there are very few 3 badgers around but thats because the young guys are probably more ambitous and want more money so those that want it go for it whilst the guys who only want to do a couple of years stay Mne and then move on to other things and thats usualy motivated by cash, a Mne is only paid 13k a year, about 10k less than a new copper gets! then again at least he has mates
