So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).

Re: Remember 1976?
I spent 1976 in Malta. :D
It was warm. :D
The again so was 1975. :D
& 1977 except I spent that summer in Cyprus :D :D :DI write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

I was 12 :D Was a great summer. I think I went through about 12 backs and 15 noses that year
Catch a train to a plane
to a place overseas.
Over clouds over fields
over rivers and trees.
And they're serving me coffee
to put me at ease.
'Cos I'm drifting without you
borne on the breeze.

I was in Germany, 1 Div, 20 years old - just got my lance jack and duty frees were really cheap.
70's were by far the best decade of my life.================================================== ============

To those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who do not, none is possible.

That was the year that we washed the vehicles with a kero/OMD75 mix. Not only did it make the matt paint nice and shiny, but also when the wagons got muddy, once the mud dried, it fell off without any effort. :D

I remember it was really hot and my Dad told me to get my shirt off and get a sun tan, no sun cream, what a lovely screaming lobster of a child I was.

Duty frees? It was cheaper to put a shilling in the fag machines.
