I joined the Army on 20 Aug 1984 and my last paid day is today. 33 yrs have flown by with many laughs and a few tears shared with some remarkable comrades and friends. Now for the next chapter😁

@PhilipIngMBE @haynesdeborah @hthjones Like all of our Generals, he will keep his powder dry until he can enjoy his pension in retirement, then sadly, he will find those morals when they matter not!

@George_5758 What an incredible stag that has been George. Are you still banned from Cyprus or is time now served? Just enquiring, so I can narrow down leaving drinks locations! FAB! ☘️

@Alby_1878 Hey Alby, very kind words. I've seen how successful you've been mate. That's down to three things you have in abundance: talent, hardworking and humility. Best wishes to you and your home team. Hope your lad currently deployed on Ops is doing ok. We were soldiers once... FaB☘️

@George_5758 @amazon Good luck with the DM to the same (un)help(ful) desk!

[Nigel Bradley @njb7728]

@George_5758 @amazon I had a similar experience with an item they said had been delivered but it hadn't (well not to me anyway, I was in all day). As I couldn't prove it hadn't been delivered (um, why is the onus on me?) I was unable to claim a refund, after being sent from pillar to post.

@KeyserSosse Justin served in the US Navy before joining 1 R IRISH. He had a US father and an Irish mother. His wife was a Lithuanian national. He was laid to rest in a Lithuanian cemetery with a UK bearer party, US guard of honour and a Lithuanian firing party. RIP Ranger and FaB ☘️

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”
