My youngest boy passed his driving test today. Very proud dad.

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Push onwards to the next one.

Never worry where you’ve been, it’s in the past, there are no re shows in life just regains and they come from looking forward, knowing what you want to achieve and going after it. Happy Sunday

@TedBlakey_47 @ArmdCavRDG @RoyalArmdCorps Don’t worry Ted they are safe in Catterick. I will have a couple of months of inactivity shortly so I’ll give you a shout and get them up to you

@weatherill_mark @ArmdCavRDG @RoyalArmdCorps Yes mate a very good day

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Out with the hound around the hills again today. 6 miles and she was still running around the mess garden when we got back. Little Princess Leia.

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Weekends are all about Princess Leia. She follows me all round work all week so when she says we’re going up Battlesbury hill and Middle hill then that’s where we go

#battlesburyhill #middlehill #warminster

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Leia: Come on then old man let’s go out for a walk🦮🚶
Ralph: I’m not going up those hills⛰️🤮
Leia: Get your carcass out of the chair and let’s get moving 💪

Great start to the day. Out for a crisp morning walk with #princessleia

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Plenty of old sweats pulling up sandbags in the comments and spinning dits about how they’ve all done stuff. This is the modern Army and that is a modern soldier. Completely unacceptable and drives soldiers out of the door. No wonder retention on its arse.

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

And just like that #princessleia has resumed all the positions back in the mess.

Christmas leave is over and the beard has gone😕

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

@bezza25 @DrRosena Because soldiers are here for everyone’s convenience and nobody actually cares if their leave is interrupted. That is pretty much everyone’s opinion. Some are even of the opinion that’s what we joined for. Imagine what would happen if we all downed tools and said no!!

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Someone’s tucked up nicely🤷‍♂️ #princessleia #labrador #foxred

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Even the dog is refusing to soldier now🤷‍♂️. One more week to push #christmasleave #princessleia #labrador #foxred

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

@StarTrek. Even #PrincessLeia is enjoying Strange New Worlds. #labrador #foxred #messlife #treky

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

@matthewtomlins4 I’d come back with something like it’s how I’m laid but that would be utterly pointless😂. I have the correct amount for my age and place in life mate……as I’m sure you do too😂

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Apparently this is how we sleep now🙄 #princessleia #labrador #foxred

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

I suppose if she’s comfortable then who am I to deny her #princessleia #labrador #foxred #thatsmybed

[Ralph Barber @RalphasaurusRex]

Well #PrincessLeia has arrived in the mess and is definitely making herself comfortable!! Not sure she cares that she’s on my bed though. #Labrador #FoxRed #Thatsmybed
