41 years service

[jcj]

I am celebrating two anniversaries this week. Yesterday I celebrated my wedding anniversary 36 years of wedded bliss (Too scared to say anything else) and today I celebrate 41 years service having enlisted into the South Wales Borderers 19th Dec 1966 and then RRW from 1969 now Royal Welsh and still serving. Apologies if I am boring you all.

Many congratulations Colin. 1966???????? Now that was a long time ago. Harold Wilson was Prime Minister, the Beatles were still together and your Depot intructors would have been veterans of Korea/Malaya....with possibly a couple of WW2 guys thrown in for good measure

:biggrin:

Bye the way, you don't get 36 years for murder these days. LOL

Well done Colin a fine example to all. I bet you've seen some changes in all those years. Personal weapons changing from a spear to the SA80, the personnel carrior was a chariot, artillary was a catapult and uniforms were usually shiny armour...............I could go on...lol
