I have it on very good authority that he is doing well. He has passed all hurdles including flying grading.

I do believe that he will be passing out in a few weeks time.

I had a PM from him a fortnight or so ago saying he was doing OK. I dont think the cadets get much web access (if at all) whilst at the College hence his silence on Proone. Look forward to seeing him on the frontline in a few years time.

If you read this Rusty - continuing Good Luck, play the game and keep smiling

Very glad to hear the news Rusty. Keep it going.

Look forward to having a drink with you again. Maybe at the Christmas GatBash. You should be well on your way by then.

Hello all!

Many thanks for the kind sentiments, I can indeed confirm Pulse1's reports that I'm doing well, and amcurrently having an excellent time at BRNC. My flight passes out on the 19th (anyone flying over the dartmouth area on that morning at all? ) and I'm thoroughly looking forward to progressing to my next course.

Thankfully I have managed to go through the college with a brilliant bunch of people, and will hopefully (subject to holds) be able to enjoy a summer at DEFTS! I should be able to post a bit more regularly aswell, which will be nice.

Once again cheers for your thoughts, they are as always very greatfully received. I hope you are all doing well and still enjoying the life, with a bit of luck I'll see you all in the fleet.

Cheers,
Rusty (thinking hard about a new name )

Hey Rusty! A joy to hear from you. I know a few mutual friends who will be dead chuffed that you are getting there.

Look forward to hearing that you have passed, passed, passed.

Many good wishes.

Question

Rusty,

Further good wishes from DownUnder: while you're there, will you give a definitive answer to the old question:

How many steps down to Sand Quay?

Indeed, nice one on grading etc Rusty! I hope you've had half as good a time at Dartmouth as i did.

How many steps to Sandquay? Too damn many....!!!

Big up the Navy!

Unhappy

Talking of Sand Quay...... Have you heard the dreaded 'FENDERS' call yet, or is that a thing of the past?

Do you expect to be turning up at HMP Cranditz shortly then, or have you already done a JEFTS-equivalent?

Any excuse to make it across to Daedalus for a beer, you understand :-)

It matters not whether you call yourself pingers, baggers, junglies or lynxboys....
Your only role is to collect my mail, therefore you are all "posties"...
