A Farewell To Arms

Ok maybe that title’s a tad on the dramatic side, but I’ve decided to call it a day with the TA. After a total of about 5 years playing at and being a soldier, I’ve had enough. I want my weekends back, I want my Wednesday nights back, I no longer want to spend 2 weeks of my holidays wet and miserable in a ditch watching ‘the enemy’, I want to spend more time with my woman, more time with my friends and more time skydiving. I DON’T WANT TO PLAY SOLDIERS ANYMORE

I’ve always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with all the green stuff, and this weekend just gone my recent suspicions were confirmed whilst tabbing over Pen-Y-Fan for the nth time, I had an epiphany when I realized that I’m not enjoying myself, I don’t want it enough, I think that’s me done. So that will be my last weekend in green. I guess I’m a bit sad about it for some reason, but I’ll get over it. OK, I’m over it.

A whole world of extra time on my hands, brilliant. Endex.
