Welcome Kev, a few more posts and your account won’t need to be moderated anymore.

Good to have you aboard. Seems like you’re catching up on decades old threads even.

Welcome Kev, look out for the sharks in the deep end.

I think he’s gonna need a bigger boat. Though he was a tanker not navy. Tanker don’t know how to swim. Not ever sure navy guys know too.

The Troop I was first in when I joined the British Army, 3 Troop, C Squadron,
1st Royal Tank Regiment spent three weeks on HMS Blake in 1981 in the Mediterranean Sea, we didn’t do much Navy stuff but we did get drunk quite a lot in the gunners mess?????.
“Tankie, British” not “Tanker, American” Origins back to the the first Tank Crews, which were originally Naval gunner’s, so some Naval links??
Swimming was a requirement when I joined the British Army?‍?‍?‍?‍ but didn’t like trying it surrounded by 60 tonnes of heavy metal. ????? Fear Naught.

I don’t know why, probably based on that last post but I really like you already.
