Country:  | RN all the way lads.
Both my grandfathers were in the Navy, although one was a hush hush.
One of my uncles is training officers at sandhurst, i think he is still a major. Another used to be a real Marine but now works in the aviation industry.
I'm the first of my generation in the family to get a real job and the only one i believe bar my brother with any interest in the armed forces. | |

Country:  | And if the title of the thread reads, "Were YOU ever in the Armed Forces", why would u think that ur post has any relevance whatsoever????
We are all gracious that ur family members have taken it upon themselves to put their lives on the line and sacrifice their lives for their country....
But wtf are u implying about the whole "get a real job" crap??? My military stint was the greatest job I ever had, and it cant get anymore real than having people shoot at u....

Country: | It was more of a small pizza. About the size of a dessert plate.
And it wasn't even in the pressure hull, just the casing, and was easily repaired. It didn't effect watertight integrity one bit. | |
