what a great story alfredo,i have a large car poppy on the grill of my motor it stays on there year after year day on day its not much but people do ask me why i keep it on the car so i tell them its to support our troops on active duty through out the world who knows what they think but a few have said well done and gone away looking thought full if it helps one person support the troops then its a job well done.

spot on with the ig/switch alfredo that bang made even the best run for cover i even saw one guy drop in the prone position i thought he had dropped dead utill he got up and threw a brick at me.that was when i was in 5 rtr i drove away but he found me in the sqn bar later i was quite happy to accept his ivitationto to go to the gym with him after which i fully understood the terms 7 bells beat and crap out of you,i still have the scars to prove it.the moral of the story is make sure you know the person who you go to the gym with,in my case i had gone with a guy called jimmy wiston middle weight champ of the 5th.oh well you cant win em all but the 2 days in the med centre did me good and gave me time to get over the concusion he had inflicted on me.Happy days.
