Excellent interview - thank you. I served for 32 years, leaving as a Warrant Officer (ex Fleet Chief) Submarine Service. Started up my own business in RUSSIA, Transferring to the ME after 4 years. One thing that I would like to say is that the comradeship you get in the military is such a special gift. Always cherish it and at some point in your life - give a little back. I have recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer and military friends that I served with in the late 50’s early 60’s have resurrected our friendship as soon as they heard. Keep up the good work and hopefully if our stories hit impress one member of the general public - then they are so worth while.
Sorry to hear that news John! Glad you enjoyed this interview and we hope your future path is as calm as it can be. If you want to share you stories from your time in service, please reach out to the show, using the link below. All the best! milvetpodcast.com/contact
Interesting talk, I. Did the same thing with the 1st battalion Scots guards, passed out then six others and me marched up to the guardroom a few hundred yards up the road in 1986. Elizabeth barracks. That's when your soldiering really started.
I think the process would have been rather more convoluted than that, even in thiose days. He would have had to have had his mother's written permission to join if he was under 18 y/o.

If the grenadiers were the first to get the warriors i think my battalion was the second in Hohne,1st battalion Scots guards.
Brilliant talk with a brilliant guest , even though he's a grenadier, (only joking) 😂
If only😂
