Damn me Owdun, I didn't think they had numbers when you joined. I always thought that there were so few of you that you all knew each other

There were a damn sight more Royal Marines about the world in those days, Wully, than we have now.We used to have a Navy,with big ships to carry Royal to exotic places that todays lads will never visit,an Empire to play in,till the bastard liberal thinkers gave it away.
Aye Owdun.

You're right Owdun. My first foreign commission was eighteen months in the Far East on HMS Newfoundland. What a tour and the places visited modern Royals only dream about

I prefer the term non-serving Royal, rather than Ex. There's no such creature as an Ex Booty.
Your turn in the crows nest Owdun, take Wully for warmth.
You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.

I'm with Rob on this one, Royal Marines are serving or non-serving if we believe in Once a Marine, Always a Marine we can't very well be ex-marines can we, nor, with respect, can we be former marines. We are still marines `just resting' as the AcTOrs have it.
