hi

has some body as just said you dont realise to read a post like this how much you still do.
keep in step when walking with somebody
walk around grass
still box my shirts
house clean and tidy
first parade my car every day before going to work (i work in a Garage now)
always at least 5 minutes before time of start of work never late for any thing.
yes sir or madam

fuuny story . my wife once said to me she was bored when we were married and in our Quater in Germany
she never ever said it again, dust on bed springs,top of doors. this is the funny thing i came back off hoilday on saturday and my daughter who is 24 said house is all done nice and clean. mum laughed and for some unknown reason i just checked for dust on the door frame as i walked in and the skirting boards. then said no it is not.

you never forget it was part of our lives some bits you do forget other things you just do naturaly.
who can still remember there Army Number.

ossie

How can you ever forget it?

you cant I'll haunt you till the end of time

That serial number is burned into my brain. My Dad not only remembered his serial number, but also the serial numberof his rifle!

Still do all the aforementioned, coffee, fast eating, etc.
My watch stays on 24 hour time(which aggravates my co workers who have never been in the military when they ask what time it is).
I wear a uniform to work, gig line straight, laces tucked in, shined boots, and I still wear the belt I wore when I was in the Army(and I can't wear the uniform without a T-Shirt underneath).
I work as a civilian contractor for the Air Force, and I deal with officers, and they all keep saying--"don't call me sir, call me Bob"(or whatever their name is), and I just can't do it--I always call them sir.

I have not been in service,
but a habit I still have from glyder training (when I was 14) is that I still reach up in the cockpit, after landing, to open the glass covering... might sound abit stupid to you (and al those co-pilots who I have flown with al these years) but I cannot get rid of it!!! :-) :-) :-)

I still eat fast which drives my wife crazy. I too set the alarm clock across the room and I still roll my socks. at work after 8 hous and I still have somthing to do it's hard to leave it until the next day. And seeing people at work goof off really bugs me. I guess thats the NCO instilled in me. And when I here people complain about their job in the factory, I always tell them they are warm and inside. Try putting a tank track back on after it has been thrown in pouring down rain with mud up to your butt. Or standing guard duty at temps below zero. Yea those were the good old days and I really miss them. I 'll be a tanker until they plant me in that hide position.
