I spent seven years exactly at sea. After I left college I spent around three months with the Herts. Police as a Communications Technician (very dull and boring) so left and worked for about 5 months at Cossor Electronics (they manufacture Secondary Surveillance Radar + MoD 'Products!).
With something like 14 months already 'eaten' into my MRGC I was just about on the point of thinking I'd never get to sea when the good old RFA. came up trumps.
Not the real 'Merch' but I saw the world. a couple of fracas and a good time on the whole.
I'm now living in Royston, Herts. and married to the lovely Heather (no kids at the mo.)
I still keep in touch with Andy Maddison and Mick of course and I'm definitely for the reunion.
I did once bump into - again a name from the past - Heather Mossop at the Stakis Hotel in Newbury - now the Hilton North - I think she's on the road quite a lot/traveling.
Anyway, keep in touch and I'll check the website/e-mail regularly.
All the best.
