End of an era

My oppo has now handed in his ID card and is on terminal leave after 23 years in the RN.  It is strange to think of the Navy without my best mate in it anymore.


He had a good send off yesterday with a lot of blokes turning out for a run ashore.  It made the PT Disco worthwhile for the first time in years.  The night ended with him falling/jumping in Commercial Rd Fountain.  I heard a splash and turned round to see him wallowing about and struggling to get out!  I managed to get him back on board and into his pit.  This morning he woke up with a baggy head and a waterlogged phone!




Be lucky Mariner.  It won't be the same without you....
