Am amazed by Micks and Tengah Types post above, in a warm way really - that they loved their respective service's so much.
Now wondering about my own time in and why I disliked it as much when I left ....but broad church and all that.
I still think civvy street is a piece of cake compared to service life and that anyone looking for a positive start will love it after service life. HM Prison 2016 looks easier and better than life as a Junior Rate RN at current if I'm truthful.
