    Joining either Army or RAF one day, but my dad served in the RAf as a Technician (no combat though, lucky sod) and my grandad served in the Army (before and during WW2, meaning he want a conscript) My Grandads story is very interesting, when i have time (i'm eating ice cream ATM) i'll tell you it.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Gawain, have you read Phantom Over Vietnam ?

    Its one of my all time favourite books, I've read it I don't know how many times. A book about Phantoms, by a USMC pilot who did 2 tours at Da Nang, sounds right up your street He flew with VMFA-314 "Black Knights" btw.
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
