Sam779 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Been in the RAF just over 20 years. Dog trainer and handler have been my main role throughout, minus some bits of instructing here and there. Had a home and away season ticket for many years and don’t miss many games unless on a deployment. Call in favours and take leave accordingly to make matches. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of stories, good times, good friends. Only ever saw Wednesday when on leave as majority of time spent in Germany, Paderborn was the best place I was posted spent 6 years there, whilst there played at Hamburg SV stadium against Hamburg BP who were their sponsors at the time in a pre-match to the main event Hamburg V Southampton, in a pre-season friendly which the clubs had agreed to on the sale of Kevin Keegan, met him and Lawrie McMenenemy, and the rest of the team. Good times. How many high explosive rounds would it take to demolish the lepp? Also could one tank do it or would it take loads....like the war of the worlds.? FFS.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Remember getting ready to go parachuting and getting locked in a room by the RAF whilst they watched the England Argies game where Beckham got sent off. They then cancelled the sortie after the match! One of the lads got his own back the following week as he punched a full sick bag into the chest of the RAF jump instructor as he went out of the door. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
