You can choose to continue your military involvement with Honoury Mess Membership, or ATC Instructor or you can never, ever look over your shoulder. It matters not, your mindset and attitude to life will always give away your background and you may as well have BritMil tattooed on your forehead. Strange that apart from the occasional appearance in public in uniform, that not once in 37 years has anyone looked at me and knowingly tapped their nose as they recognise I am military, not once, as in never

To think any different is naive.
Nothing naive about me, ever the eternal realist here

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!

My brain tells me I am still a schoolboy; sadly the creaking bones do not. Oh and it takes a bit more than a black and white page 3 picture to be an upstanding 'young' man these days.

Seldom,

Can we asume that when you become reborn as a civvy again you will no longer be posting on the mil forums due to it no longer being applicable to you?

I see you as being very naive.

i'll ask you when you leave the mob.

I see you as being very naive. Strangely I see myself as simply being respectful of the site owners wishes

i'll ask you when you leave the mob.
About this time next year then
