        Prefer that than landing on concrete.
        I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

            How naive were we as younguns, jumping into Libya believing it was sandy like the Sahara desert. Instead hard as bloody hell with stones,boulders, and camel thorn. Welcome to the world of reality !

                I did most of that with a head ache from a head whip that stunned me. Then got dragged and ripped the arse out me denims and ended up with tanned cheeks. Lt Soper was mortified.

                Did 9 Sqdn jump in and level all that airstrip Bob ?..... where that Argosy went in ... or just tidy it up. We was told it was an old Afrika Korps one.

                Often wonder if me neck clicking now came from that. Medic gave me an asprin and soldier on.

                  Sharja was just the same. Acres of sand; hard as feck with a liberal sprinkling of rocks. Happy days though.

                    A Recruiting Poster of 7 RHA in Sharjah got me in the Army. It was on the wall in the recruiting office in Brum. I was iffy til I saw that. All that sun and sand reminded me of Blackpool Beach......... and the bronze mean lookin' gunners.

                    So them posters work....on dummies anyway. LOL

                              I went to the Darlington recruiting office to join Para Reg, to follow in my Uncle's footsteps. They conned me into joining 7 RHA.
