Great to see you out and about, enjoying life.

 

Thanks and yes it is nice to be able to enjoy doing things again. Still trying to build up my stamina from what it had been. Being pretty much sedentary for 3 years I lost a lot of muscle & core strength.

 

Could always go thru basic training again.

 

You're DAMN funny...….. I think I'll pass

 

At least it made ya smile.

If you don't live to far out in the sticks, maybe a Gym membership?

 

I would go though it again best memories from that place

 

I always say if it were the same place/time, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
Truth is, the armed forces are not the places they use to be (for better or worse).

 

I'm not that old in my 20s so I don't think it has come that much but who knows :b

 

I’m ex RAN from the late 70’s to mid 80’s.
Gov downsizing sent moral to hell in a handbasket.
As the age of political correctness came around the service got soft, and a lot of the true skilled work was outsourced.
I have friends that stayed in, some that did 20yrs retired then went back as civvie contractors... all have told me it just wasn’t the same since.

 

I know my pap (Marine Vietnam) says it went soft but I enjoyed Bootcamp. I thought it was like fat camp
