Being on

life was on the Fighter Squadron.

I loved

the life of traveling around the world.

You know, you go to cold countries, warm

But it was the break of today, you're here,

and you go away to Las Vegas

I'm thinking I'm getting paid for this

It's.

This is utterly fantastic.

Or you go to Norway or Denmark

So that sort of broke

the pattern of life

When you get up the ranks, that slows down.

But I still loved it.

Being out on the front line.

Falklands, four months.

All those places is just amazing.

And now

twelve youngsters

Youngsters and just like I was

And I often like to share my experience,

to judge the people

Because I could see whether or not

they had the ability or that something

to do the job to the level
