If you go to Dhekelia.... wave to my lovely bungalow as you go by, lol.. it's on the bottom road, next to the gym... or it was the gym when we were there!!

Hayley... yeh, you were only 6 yourself, slip of a girl!

Well, good luck, and I'm sure she'll do very well.... it is so good to hear of youngsters like your girl... they all seem to get such a bad press, don't they?

Love

I think its to do with both her dad and I being Instructors in the Cadets, she has been brought up with us coming and going in uniform and her godfather is in the Duke of Lancs Reg based out in Cyprus at the moment. She is looking forward to Aug when we go out to visit him and his family jsut so she can visit the garrision and see what its like bless her

I miss read that Daff I thought it said for the first one I never had a hissy and said he was only 5......the way I look at it is this, when your number is up its up, kids are stabbed everyday in the street, or knock down....yes being there they are high risk but if thats what she wants to do ....I am so proud of her x

Hayley love...... not quite.... my hubby and your son... they were a brilliant double act........ Your lad needed a veteran of the first one to show him the ropes, lolol

Catherine, she is one heck of a girl, isn't she! I would have been frightened to death if it was one of my children out there.... it was bad enough with a hubby, but your kids? That's different.

Give her my best regards

Love

Daff xxxx

With all the news reports about our servicemen getting injured/killed in war zones.

My 13 yr old daughter is looking at joining up when she is old enough to be an engineer...she is in the Army Cadet Force and loves it so much she said she would like a career in the Army but as an Infantry soldier...she knows that females can't do infantry but the nearest to this is as an engineer working on mechanised vehicles. I am so proud of her wanting to do something like this. She watches the news and is not put off in the least.
