Armed Forces Day, to those who went before us, to those we stood shoulder to shoulder with and those who continue to serve our country, thank you for your service 🫡 "Si vis pacem, para bellum"

Missed Armed Forces Day, working, so rode here to the National Memorial Arboretum to have my own, reflect on those who have crossed the bar in recent times and where better than the Royal Navy Memorial 🫡 Fair Winds, Calm Seas Shipmates

What an ignominious end to an amazing career bbc.com/news/articles/…

Sad news, Fair winds, Calm Seas Royal 🫡

Went to book my next adventure, looked at the mural on the bulkhead and thought, thanks to the RN been there, literally every continent on this planet including Antarctica One of the things I am most grateful for in life and thanks to the Navy, was the opportunity to travel 🫡

Day off so bar opened, seeing as I don’t drink and have no Oppos pretty pointless evolution tbf 😀

Tragic outcome - police have located the body of Alex Cairnie, missing army sergeant based in Tidworth, Wiltshire. RIP Thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues. If you’re a veteran that is struggling with your mental health reach out samaritans.org/how-we-can-hel…

Today I learned the RN community lost a legend……Tony Brown crossed the bar. One of the most loyal guys I ever had the pleasure to serve alongside Served as a Stoker in the RN he went on to become a career firefighter Fair winds, calm seas Shipmate, we have the watch 🫡

Veterans breakfast clubs Always more than a bit of scran The science: social bonding produces a hormone called oxytocin which in return reduces cortisol, the stress hormone The reality: scran with like minded individuals great way to decompress from life’s worries and chill

Big shoutout to my NHS work colleague & former shipmate Without any external assistance housed an elderly homeless veteran with a terminal illness Not for awards or plaudits but like a lot of you out there supporting our community he’s WORKING FOR THE CAUSE NOT THE APPLAUSE

Just found out my former Boss has crossed the bar Damage Control Officer and my Divisional Officer on Ark Royal, she kept me out of trouble so many times when my gob ran away with me. A beautiful human being & top Naval Officer. Absolutely gutted Taken far too young

The legend that is Rob Fuller, privileged to serve on HMS Fearless and Ark Royal with Rob. Enjoy your retirement Shipmate Thank you for your service 🫡

Today Veterans who work at the George Elliot hospital helping to advocate for the free Veterans Health Checks provided by the Trust As veterans we are very proud of the Trust that goes well above and beyond the “due regard” required of the Armed Forces Covenant George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust

Us old crinkly Matelots complaining about sprog Killicks in the Mob now, this was 83 when it was common not to have a badge 😀

My former DO, the world is a sadder place today

Probably the most homoerotic phot of a Standing Sea Emergency Party, ever HMS Fearless

Really proud of the Trust, go above & beyond to support serving members of the Armed Forces, Reservists, Cadets, Veterans, Families and carers Making a real impact on the lives of those they employ which in turn significantly improves the lives of those the Trust supports 🫡

In memoriam, RIP Boss 🫡

Sometimes what I miss the most is simply being at sea
