Civvie street

[Honour_Courage_Respect]

Hi all i was just wondering what all you guys did when you left the marines? Surely it was a completely different way of life, for example the friends you had etc?

My best school mate went to work for WH Smiths in York and eventually became their Buyer for Greetings Cards,he now heads his own consultancy buisness.This bloke would fall in a meat grinder and come out with a Degree in Iso Schematic Polymerisation theory!!!!

making the transition from a bootneck to a civvy was no easy task for me. After I got out I wrote the book Amongst The Marines and later I wrote Always A Marine. The second book described my journey into civvy street.

However, these years on I may have calmed down a bit, but am sure that part of me will ALWAYS be a Marine.


All the best

arent you a ninja aswel now?

 

[Greendeath]

Yes I am. I wrote about my journey into the world of the ninjas in my second book, which closed out my story.

These days I still keep myself fit and train in Ninjutsu which is more or less a way of life now.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s there was a bootie (ex?) who ran a ninjutsu club in Guzz, with whom I was fortunate to train for a short time. He was at that time one of the country's few 3rd Dan grades. I think he went to the states.

This guy intoduced me to ninjutsu. I'm deeply saddened that some years later he took his own life.

Theres a good article in here if you look for it: Its titled Life in the Marines.

and one here too called Back In Civvy Street:

Also, the guy in my second book (Barty) is a 13th Dan now. He was a 10th Dan then, so I would imagine you may understand the level of tuition I have received over the years. Probably not but no big licks really.

ps. Keep your plonker to yourself mate.

 

[tom_cdt_l/cpl]

Seems as if you have led quite an interesting life judging from those articles.

 

[bindu]

Preece you barss can I never get away from you on military web sites?

 

[Greendeath]

Yes I have led an intersting life and yes I do get around a little on the websites.


Currently I'm working on a novel. I guess it would be prudent to do this as a follow up to my two biographies.


Cheers
