Shy
I've never worn my GSM/NI; I certainly remember being presented with it by AVM Austin who knew enough to kindly say I'd definitely earned it,
Such grandeur! I got mine in the gents at the NI Det (NOT where I earned it!!) from my Flt Cdr who was standing in the next porcelain.
"Hey Teeters" he said, searching in his pockets (!!!)
"Yes Boss"
"I've got a f****in' medal for you"; hands it over.
"Thanks Boss"......
