i've still got a house in Arbour Hill, and i'm still serving in the British Army - the best decision of my life.

Ah, An Píarsach! Was in it for about two years and did a camp in Kilkenny and one in Dundalk doing guards and border patrols (Jesus, I was 14!). Left then and joined the BA 3 weeks before Bloody Sunday! Served 24yrs though. Another lad joined the Micks and a third went into the RAF. I see from Flickr that Maurice Hayden was still cutting about in Griffith Barracks for years afterwards! Originally Posted by cruisedub

Whoops! Ex 11th Field Med Coy and 62 Logs Bn. When I think back on those great days christ we under funded, undertrained and unappreciated but we never complained. The RDF has come on but its still a bit of joke, the NCO corps are fairly decent for the most part but for some reason they commission fecking peacocks what mince about the place looking for salutes cause trouble and generally don't know their arse from their elbow, but because they have a fancy job title in civvy street they are officer material?
