After 18 years in the Navy flying in the Fleet Air Arm in various s**t holes around the world as dreamt up by our New Labour lords and masters I was thoroughly pleased to receive my leaving letter thanking me for my 18 years servitude in the Royal Marines ?????
Nothing like a little research and knowing your personnel!
Best left behind, certainly the best thing I ever did was to get out.
Good luck to anyone still slogging through the mire!
