Perhaps a tad "old fashioned" but I think the common thing that comes through, loud and proud, in this thread can be summed up in one word, comradeship. Whatever branch, trade activity, we all seem to remember them in connection with our fellow servicemen of the time. I for one can guarantee that my time was made more enjoyable by the many superb people I was lucky enough to serve with. With that in mind I raise my glass to old friends, both living and departed, and wish our current replacements the same luck that we had.
