Worked a treat - all the hotel discounts we needed!

That is an absolute riot. I wish I had done that when I spent 6 weeks in the States last year, and I'm not even in the forces yet!

It was more a case of "just hand your ID card over and return various items of kit back to Slops...you know where the main gate is, close it when you go out" and that was it I was a civvy
I enjoyed my time in the mob, but I have also enjoyed my time out of it
