Do you recon i could pass for a marine? I quite fancy sunning myself on a boat shooting seagulls

i will be the first then! was in for 4 and a half years in 42. got threaders with the heirachy in general and though i would get back to my roots in sussex and work with wood instead. thought about maritime, the money is extremley tempting. i said to myself if im out of work next year i will do it.all the lads i was in the corps with are leaving and doing it, its getting big business.

How about you? been tempted?

i reckon we are, billy no mates they call me, thats apart from tree man tom:thumbup: iv been in twice, left and re joined and inbetween had a spell with the rubber dagers. i have now built up a steady business now and dont advertice much, most its word of mouth and repeat work but a few mates have gone into maritime work and im finding im been a tad tempted esp @ £300 a day. even at the age of 50 the offer is there. i like the thought of adventure:thumbup1: what do you think about it?ps i love working with wood but the civeys are hard work:lol:

you live in a fantastico place i used to ride the horses out from the stables at 42 from there, it was a place i always wanted to live, thats out side of the camp that is. Do they still have horses and ride out? im going back about 11 years.

hi Mark its security shipping or maritime protection- anti piracy insurance comps insist on it now and its royal marines who do it, even old sods like me are getting offers and at 300 sqwid a day its tempting.
