It’s been a quiet start to the year so far as I’ve been trying to sort myself and home out. Finally been accepted back in as a regular serviceman. Got my start date which caused a bit of a bum fight between departments as the reservist manning wanted me to do the full three months as they feared it would be hard replacing me. Where...

This year has been a bit quieter for me as I’ve been trying to save money to get bits done. But let see first half of the year I spent time recovering from injury doing fitness for the RAF. I also began my application to rejoin as a regular serviceman rather than the reservist I currently am. I got my fitness sorted and passed my...

This symbol of remembrance it’s poignant knowledge etched in hearts and minds. Some recall the loss of father mother brother or sister or sons and daughters or even just the old man from the pub who used...

To the above mentioned I know you probably won’t see this as you blocked me. Firstly I apologise if my message came across as creepy it was not my intent. I was enquiring as I saw you did photography and was going to ask if you would be willing to take a non-suicidegirls commission. This was prompted by the post about you breaking lenses and...

I’ve been feeling very melancholy recently and have had a few tussles with the black dog. In an effort to try finding something to divert my attention to help me focus I came upon a poem though it’s not my belief it hit many emotions in me.

So where have you been staioned at in the states, I see your wearing a uniform. Myself a USN Veteran 4 active 2 reserve. If your a Veteran, I don't talk about war, countries we are at war with, and places we have been deployed to. I do say thing like, lve probably been in every desert you can name. Please don't start naming desert off. This is not the website to talk about war. I really do like talking about state side. I was staioned in Alameda California Naval Air Base, at one time. Norfolk Virginia Naval Base. So get a hold of me sometime and tell me a state side story.

It happened to me once, to find a camera with a film and got the pictures developped about 10 years after they were taken! Such a weird nostalgia feeling!
