What if I can manage that on my own? Just because you like the regiment and was probably a good thing for you doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for everybody. Let’s face it the world is changing and people prefer to do what they want to do not what a law made half a century ago tells them to do.

The regiment has always been a place where a lot of young men from different backgrounds have been made into better people partly because they received the discipline that they so desperately needed and secondly it taught them teamwork and the understanding that all of us in this island need to work together to make it a safer better place for future generations.If the regiment was good enough for me and my son then it is good enough for anyone.when I went in in 1968 things were much harder than they are now.Any old soldier considers today’s boot camp compared to ours is like being in the Boy Scouts.
