Welcome back B&Y, bet it was a blast to see the new Lad for the first time! Of course instead of the monetary appreciation that you could have received if you were 'entitled' to similar bonuses as the Spams, you had the delight of serving with the USMC instead! I bet time on board was a bit different than that of in Invincible!! Well done for sticking it out, I think that I would have been divorced if I had to tell my Mrs that I wasn't going to be there for the birth of No2, a house move, a new job and 6 months on board including Op sorties into Afghanistan!
