Good Morning
 
Just joined this forum.
 
Pedigree - if that is the right word - is All Arms Junior Leaders Regiment (AAJLR) 1964/65, then (briefly) Intelligence Corps Depot, Maresfield, Sussex followed by RAPC Deport at Worthy Down, after which spent the best part of three years at 7 Sigs, BFPO 15 as a Corporal Pay Clerk.
 
Bought myself out in October 1968 and have since spent thirty-seven years in law enforcement - now CID/fraud etc - in Somerset, Hertfordshire and Surrey.
 
Back involved in 'military matters' as Hon. Sec. of the AAJLR Comrades Association.
 
Richard

The 6th Annual Reunion of we ex-Tonfanau 'inmates' will take place at the Min-Y-Mor Hotel, Barmouth from 3 - 5 April 2009.
 
This is the 50th anniversary of the start of Junior Leaders at Tonfanau, and so is something of a special occasion.
 
For further details contact me, the Comrades Association Honorary Treasurer on e-mail below, or visit our website at www.aajlr.org

Back to original question....
 
Posted as an RAPC Pay Clerk to 7th Signals in January 1966, remaining there until October 1968.
 
Good times, often viewed through a haze of Double Diamond (Coporal's Mess) and Herforder Pils!
 
Friends remembered include Chris Rogers, Ian Fairbrother, Al Morrin (wife Trish), Frank Dempster, Don Batson, Paul Bill, Ramon MacFarlane, Dave 'Wullie' Wilson, Graham 'Max' Maxwell, Ernie Reid, Pat Gethin and Martin 'Taffy' Pritchard.
 
Some good times, some not so.

CIA agents are using a potent new weapon to aid the fight against the Taliban – Viagra pills.
The sex-boost drug is being used to bribe Afghan tribal warlords in return for vital intelligence information.

The elderly chiefs often have up to four wives to keep happy – and one ex-CIA agent in Afghanistan revealed how a 60-year-old warlord was persuaded to assist Coalition forces after they offered to ensure he was up to the task.

The chief had extensive knowledge of the area and controlled key passages, but was reluctant to help. US forces won his loyalty by handing over four blue pills after a medical check-up]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:45:19 +0000 http://www.modoracle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10552&PID=70521#70521 Royal Navy : War veterans' clubhouse is handed to travellers http://www.modoracle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10551&PID=70520#70520 Author: jimd
Subject: War veterans' clubhouse is handed to travellers
Posted: 05 January 2009 at 12:40pm

Royal Navy veterans are being kicked out of their clubhouse so the land around it can be used as a travellers' camp.

The former servicemen say the decision signals the death knell for their association which was formed 76 years ago.
