My hold was 6 months in Bermuda where I learnt to water ski, wind surf and also got some piper flying....The holding Officer forgot about me as I was only supposed to be there for 2 months. After 2 months I rang him up to ask when my course started and he said "Yesterday - You missed it" ! ....so I joiined the next one.....shame I had to come home really...Don't you just love the Royal Navy ?
