It can be done - My before's and Afters

[Jim]

ah, the Black Mafia as they were called Sammy them and the Light Infantry. My Brother in Law was a RGJ bandsman. I did 25 years, 3 with 2 Para and the 22 in the Ordnance Sammy. I loved it, had a great time and some fantastic postings.

What an AMAZING difference!! Seeing you photos has definitely inspired me to keep on going!!

 

[SammyE]

Ahh must have been nice catching up with everyone, bet civvy life took some getting used to after all that time! My ex will be in until he retires, he loves it.

 

[Jim]

Thanks peeps.

I was the same Sammy, but 25 years did it for me, but I'm happy I came out when I did really, gave me a chance to prove myself in civvy street. What a change that was, and to be frank how easy it all is outside.

Loving the pics Jim... Colleen must loving stepping out with you!!

Amalie will love the new 'naughty' photo!!

 

[Jim]

Puerto Mogan.yes I did Bren, we stayed in the old part, as you'll see when you get home.

Linz, I'm pretty sure she does seeing as we've been together over 40 years now. and I was thinking of Amelia when I saw the photo, I didn't realise Colleen had taken it.

I really wish we could have bought that kitten home though.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I will show it to her when we get back from school pick up! I think she started the whole naughty step thing!!

 

[Jim]

LOL, yes very probably Linz.

You've been off the step for a while now Jim haven't you.

Colleen's got a real think about beards and the strong still silent type - that's not the first time she's had a fling with a statue x
