You didn't need a dumb list to know that!!
 
 I did 10 years in the service remember....there are some perks to it. Actually I have the RAF and RN to thank for 7 of them.

I thought you were just in the navy. I didnt realise you did RAF time too.

Search and Rescue. Then with the defense cuts they were disbanding the S&R squadron so I transferred to the RN. Handed in my RAF uniform and brylcream in on a Friday and picked up my Navy uniform and vaseline on the following Monday

thanks for saving m the effort of making the joke.
 
 I always wondered about search and rescue, I am sure you did plenty of searching, but did you do a lot of rescuing?
