What Regiment was you in mate?
Its a long story mate , Joined the Cheshire regiment originally then transfered to RCT a while after.........it was a roller coaster ride in the short 3 years I was in.
My best mate's bruv joined the Cheshires, he didn't last two years when they were posted in Hong Kong.
My first three years were mad, then I deided to grow up and had a sucessful further years with a few propmotions and a couple of really good postings
I got out of the army before I did real serious time in Colchester hahhaah...I was a fuckin toe rag back then, fighting was a way of Army life in Aldershot back in the 80,s!
Having grown up there, I can assure you it was a way of life long before the 80's mate. All good fun though, loads of alcohol, and generally good relations with us civvies.
My finest moment was when I was seeing a lass from Sheffield, who was a PT instructor in the QARANC, and a Lieutenant to boot. Used to go to these amazing piss ups with her, and all the girlie soldiers would salute when we passed them.
Heaven for an 18yo lad.
