Brought forward from the Pprune Time Machine (post #33)!!! I've no idea why my first post has date/timed 6 hours earlier!

I'm in receipt of a veteran's badge and will get another choccy gong because my HM Forces service can be aggregated with what I do now. Call me a bluff old traditionalist, I got other medals for "putting my pink body on the line" and the QDJM is really just a celebration of HM's long service through recognising "long" service of her crown servants.
I won't be signing the petition as I believe you're either serving at time of recognition or you're not - simple.
