Shrimps,
I know a few people that have had bad luck, and it has already been specified, dont give up mate. When you are sitting there in the sharp end of that jet with 89 tons bolted to your ass, it will all have been worth it, believe me.
Keep at it mate
.
Good stories guys, and I am glad that a few wannabees are finding it a good read, and is inspirational.
Take care chaps and chapesses.
