Subject: 'Lost Opportunities Maybe?' Author: Jim Martin [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:39:56 04/09/05 Sat I suppose everybody has regrets at some stage in the Army! Reflecting on what might have been if we had taken a different course when on offer. I am not talking about promotional prospects but lost opportunities that on reflection that you wished that you had jumped at that specific time in your life. Mine happened in Devizes just before we went to Germany. I remember that the advance party from 20 Regt had arrived from Fallingbostel and being that I was a limber gunner on the equipment that we had in Devizes I and others were asked to stay on with them. I didn't take up the offer as I wanted to travel to exotic places and not be stuck in the UK! Didn't think anymore about it until sometime later when we were told that 20 Regt was off to Hong Kong! Bloody hell I thought, kicking myself all around the Gunpark! I was even more pissed off when I learn't that they were to be the last R.A Regiment to serve in that exotic location! Of course on their return they were disbanded! Such is life! Though, I was one of the first from the Regiment to get the opportunity to go to Canada and thankfully this time I took it and never regreted the experience! Swings and round-a-bouts some might say!........... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
