I must lay claim to being a bit of a uniform collector... started off with 2 1/2 years in the Royal Navy before deteriorating eyesight put paid to ship driving. Then joined the Infantry (where apparently eyesight doesn't matter so much!). Served for 17 years and deployed on ops to the usual places - N Ireland, Bosnia and Iraq. Left the British Army in 2008 and emigrated to Oz and am now the proud wearer of a slouch hat in the Royal Australian Infantry Corps. Perhaps I should give Air Force a try next!
