    I did 6 years in the British army, thanks for the compliment............& experience tells me, people who knock the armed forces had a crack at it themselves, but didn't have the backbone to pass basic training, or they are totally clueless!

    Never served in any forces myself...Cadets as a kid

    Given the choice or if I have any influence at the time I wouldn't allow any of my kids to join up.

    Bassingbourn in Royston, Herts........I know it well, I did my basic training there, my block was right at the back by the 28 Royal Engineers.....Corona Platoon!

    Was a propellor from the Memphis Belle at the entrance when you were there?
