    Height TO Weight Ratio

    Military Careers Office

    I drove past my old Royal Marines Recruitment office today. Its a ferkin cane furniture shop now. I still smile when I pass it though because I'll never forget when I walked in there for the first time and some big fat sailor asked me what I wanted. "I want to join the Royal Marines." I said...

    Age

    What is age? When I turned 40.  I was a former Royal Marine and a fully fledged ninja and my sensei told me that age was a figment of the imagination.  He asked me at that time what my thoughts were.  The answer was: Mohamad Ali won the world title at 50 so that can't be that old.  Our...

    The Beers on Home Leave

    I'll always remember getting the train home and rushing to my local to sink lots of ale.  In the 80's last orders was at 10:30 pm so I used to walk in the bar at 9pm and order 5 pints of guiness.  Of course they were destroyed by 11pm but I was thirsty and that was my way of quenching it. I...

    Fancy Dress

    One of the great things I casually enjoyed about being a serviceman was the many fancy dress rigs some of us had. I once recall about fifty of us going down the town dressed up as cowboys and indians. We split up and started our sessions at different ends of the town. We arranged to recreate The...

    Morons

    I recently read in the local Newspaper about a young soldier who was viciously assaulted by several people after a night out. This is the area where I grew up and went home on leave when I served in the Marines. I used to get a load of crap and offers of violence off the locals, but I didn't...
