22 years complete today. And I didn’t expect to stay longer than 4 years, but I’ve made a career out of it. I’ve always said I’ll stop when the fun stops.

Could do with a week or so to do husbandry of the upperdeck. Rust is not only a sign of corrosion, also increases the radar return.

10 years since Tim’s vision after years of set backs became a reality. We’re the one of the few countries in the world to use adventurous training for its military. And I’m an advocate for it, AT has multiple benefits to the individual and therefore the military benefits.
Ten years ago today I gained approval to sail into this - fantastic!

Sounds very much like the Short Engagement Seaman which ended in the early 2000s. Ideal opportunity for people to join and not have to commit.

Time to pack away the steaming bats for a while. My 2 years in HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH is over, which now takes me to 6 years onboard in total. Off to new pastures.

For sailors of a certain vintage they will understand this figurine. The now retired Commodore Jamie Miller has clearly left some loafing onboard, at some point during a visit to the Ship.

This is not the @RoyalNavy that ruled or will ever rule the seas.
These people clearly think that it’s a fancy dress party.
