22 years complete today. And I didn’t expect to stay longer than 4 years, but I’ve made a career out of it. I’ve always said I’ll stop when the fun stops.

Often wonder who in 1943 did this graffiti in the wardroom of HMS Excellent.

No need for the RN to create AI generated images for publishing when we have the RN Photographic branch.

I reckon UK Armed Forces OR7 (CPO/Csgt/SSgt/FSgt) to OR8 (WO2) could compete with that wage compression.

Aldi must be one of the best examples of UK wage compression. Would you really want to take on managerial responsibility to take home an extra 88p an hour?

And like that my 13th season of field gun is complete. Made it to the final with @HMS_Collingwood and it wasn’t to be, made more special by having 11 people who had never competed join the team. Now planning for next season to be a successful one.

Onto our seventh Prime Minister since 2016. The country is starting to resemble a badly run football club with an impatient owner who can’t look further than one season. We need stability to incite growth

Could do with a week or so to do husbandry of the upperdeck. Rust is not only a sign of corrosion, also increases the radar return.

10 years since Tim’s vision after years of set backs became a reality. We’re the one of the few countries in the world to use adventurous training for its military. And I’m an advocate for it, AT has multiple benefits to the individual and therefore the military benefits.

Sounds very much like the Short Engagement Seaman which ended in the early 2000s. Ideal opportunity for people to join and not have to commit.

Time to pack away the steaming bats for a while. My 2 years in HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH is over, which now takes me to 6 years onboard in total. Off to new pastures.
