Buddies in Boats

It is amazing how time takes it's toll. I look at the before and after photos and can tell those that used their pay packet as "beer coupons" instead of payments. They may try and tell you it was the hard yakka they put in while in boats, if you fall for that you will fall for anything.

Far from popular opinion my time in the RAN and then The Squadron was the proudest time of my life, only surpassed by the arrival of my two children. My eventual leaving may have been by mutual relief, but I will always be proud to say I served on those black bastards (oops there I go again). This is a great site, some of the comments are funny some are deep all are made by people proud of what they achieved in let's face it adverse conditions, as big Wally used it to apologise for those he may have hurt, so I apologise for those I may have offended, as some one else says "or not that dickhead" I am aware I may have fallen into that category for some, but for those that really knew/know me they will attest I wasn't always myself. There that's another of the 12 steps on the program done !!!!. Now as someone else said "drink more Piss".
