I am 69 and I wish I could join up now. Missed the boat back in 1972/73

[@nickgreaves3355]

I’m 58 and I’d re- enlist again with you as I enjoyed it so much first time.

The good old days when we had an army bigger than the capacity of a football stadium!

[@adrianparker-e9f]

I heard something about 'drawing' ( with paper and pencil) being part of the training for the Artillery. Is that right ?

Travel,sport and pay?

[@chrissheppard5068]

When this was made servicemen were grossly underpaid. 29 Commando RA is a good unit.
