Hi Steve,Hi Mike
Nice to see you posting back on the forum again. I hope you are feeling better now. Gulworthy is a nice part of the world. I go past Bickleigh Brks often as a cut through to Endsleigh Golf Club. I am infact parked up having my break at Lympstone. I take it you had to do the assault course back in the day?? Speak soon and good luck with the motorcycle build.
Steve
Oh yes I've done that assault course many times, not only in basic training but also completing my command courses..... a distant memory now though.
I actually enjoyed my basic training, especially the 6 weeks of Commando Tests.....
This November is my reunion of 50 years of joining the Corps...(4th November 1969). 60 joined of which only 9 completed training, others were back Trooped through injury. of those 9 there are only 4 of us left a live. 2 x died of the dreaded C. 1 x RTA, 2 x natural causes.
Life is very precious, no replays.....
Regards Mike
