Well like I said I was 16 and 1 month and it was a massive massive shock, watching this though they got it much more easier, back in 83 things were a damn sight different although they wouldnt show the things we went through on TV! | |

Royal Navy School on 09:49 - Feb 9 with 2911 views | dickythorpe | My mate was in the Navy and was told "throw yourself off the ship into the next harbour" He chose Singapore, he almost got sectioned!!! But did get to leave soon after,as the memory of landing in the most polluted and animal carcassed filled waters will never leave his memory!! Another character was a chap with the surname Spiller, he spilt a missile overboard the clumsy tit!! [Post edited 9 Feb 2016 9:54]
