Well quite. Had I stayed in I would have been looking at promotion in the next 2 years. Assuming that I now would not have been promoted until 2012, that would have made me 37/38 on promotion to Lt Cdr! And then only if I was selected! I can't think that I would have been hanging around much longer in those circumstances. Of course were I a pusser, I would have been promoted immediately on being eligible (do they have anything to do with promotion I wonder?? ).

Does anyone have the number for that truck driving school? Truckmaster I think it's called....
