Re: First day at BIG school.

When our son left Moorhead in 1985 at the age of 16, he went straight into the J.L.R. (Junior Leaders Regiment).In 1986, his mother and I went down to Bovington Camp for his passing out parade.

When socialising with other parents during the meal that was laid on after the parade, one of the other recruits younger siblings said to our lad, "how did you put up with the discipline"?

Back came the reply, "Because I had it at home and at school before I joined up". He passed out as a Junior Sargeant by the way. (Mum and Dad well chuffed)
Your's as ever, stay happy, Taddy.
