Ajax Bay

[Doc]

I wasnt there, but the rememberance day parade and Log run is shortly upon us.
Just wondering if anyone was aware of it still being run at Log Regt, and maybe being able to tell me who the winner is post event.
My thoughts are with the members of the "seahorses" past and present for their services at the Bay and since.
Especially Med Sqn and all the "docs".

doc, i used to be med sqn fitter down in the LAD (light Ale Division) when the Duggan Brothers were there and Trev Larcombe, other names elude the old grey cells yes, logs....................drive everywhere

[Doc]

I knew a Trev bootneck but his last name escapes me as my grey cells have left the building.
I was in Med from 92-96 with a few trips away with other units.
Tents UP.............Tents DOWN...............Tents UP................sod it standeasy!

[bootneck]

doc, Trev started out life in the, "Paras" but obviously saw the light and transfered to the "Green Machine", i don`t know when Trev left the Corp`s, or even Med Sqn, but he was a farkin good egg, and i`m still in touch today.

[Doc]

Well if he is a mutual oppo mention my name and say hi when next in touch I´ll PM you some details when I have time, sometime today.
Where you with med at Seaton/Coypool or Chivenor?
The Trev I knew was a short stocky light haired lad, had abit of woman trouble at Chivenor. Top bloke, a real Gent, actually came to my wedding with Van Flip-Flop another squatty fair haired lad.
Sadly Im out of contact with most of the lads, hence my post. My ex-wifes best mate married my best mate in logs and in fairness he sided with the women when my marriage went sour (dont blame him I wouldnt square up to either of the lasses)
God times in Med for me, few tossers like any walk of life, and plenty of stick from Royal
But wouldnt change it for the world and if I was a lucky guy Id be back in a shot.

I was Med Sqn Sigs NCO roundabout 80/81. I remember this RN Lt Snowball, ex POMA so he was.

That year in Norge he got neat stick from all and sundrie. "lets have a Snowball fight" would be heard all the time. Did his head in.

I was at HMS Mecury and across the pipe system came a call for a Writer Storey! Gen!

Or the old jokes like P.O. Laris or Master (of arms) Bates

And here's what it Ajax bay looks like today. These pics were taken on the "pilgrimage" in Nov 02. It was an incredibly emotional experience for all and a real privilege to be on it.





















































And finally but most importantly.
