Military service

14 year in the Royal navy, 1965 -79. Seen active service in two so called 'Security operations' (along with the ship). Fortunately I was never involved in a real war.

I så fald er "Marinekorpset" nu nedlagt. Alt forsvar af Bornholm er overgået til Hjemmeværnet:)Originally posted by Lars Remmen
Der er mange som ikke ved at infanteriet på Bornholm historisk ser er tæt knyttet til marinen. Der er (var?) faktisk Danish Marine Corps :p
Og vi kunne jo slås i modsætning til mage af de pyntenakker som spankulerede omkring i resten af landet

Den eneste Hærenhed på Bornholm er SPJESK/III/GHR, der er kronisk udstationeret til enten Bosnien, Kosovo eller Afghanistan.
TO THE REST; SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION, JUST A BIT OF INTERSERVICE RIVALRY, REGULAR PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE WILL RECOMMENCE:D

It seems like many of you guys have a "little" bit longer army career than I have:D
Looks like a 2/3 of players have done military service and some guys will do it in future, and that's great thing. I think that "ArmyTime" was very fun and interesting.
