Tony B Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi Greg, nice to have some young blood, how are you at pushing bath chairs up ramps? The club house stairs are getting a bit steep for us foggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover8FFR Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Greg. Bad news on the army. Have you considerd the army cadets! You can join right up until 18 years and nine months. It caters for young people in all sahpes and sizes and your diabetes wouldn't be an issue at the officers and adults are first aid qual'd! You will get a taste of all the military stuff and do weekend exercises, go shooting etc! You can then apply to become an adult instructor after 18 3/4yrs. There is a detachment in Bromyard. Contact the TA Centre in Hereford or go online. You will love it and you get to see lots of vehicles. In 2006 the cadets went in a Chinook helicopter. How do I know!!!!!! That's because I am an officer with the cadets and run the main detachment in Hereford City Centre. Be the Best!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
