Never thought when I joined the @BritishArmy I would be serving for so long. I joined because I needed a job, had little hope and wanted to give my family a good life. Still here 10,969 days later or 30 years and 12 days. Best decision I ever made.

Duty and remembrance went hand in hand today for the British Army’s youngest recruits. #VEDay80 was more than a history lesson for personnel at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, as they took time to reflect and connect with the past. Read more 🔗 brnw.ch/21wSvLu

With all the news today I fear this may have been lost somewhat. IT’S VITAL. Fellow veterans, we all need support sometimes. Reach out if you need to.
Today the Labour Government is announcing Valour, our new nationwide veterans support system. It will help veterans access help more easily. Labour backs our veterans🇬🇧

Huge congratulations to the Junior Soldiers of Cambrai and Waterloo on completing the first six weeks of their Basic Training today. This is a key milestone for them, and the roars of emotion from reunited families is matched by their personal sense of achievement. Enjoy leave.

Update: the Army Foundation College is advising junior soldiers that safety is the priority… “If JS can’t get back safely they should wait until safe to do so.” @ForcesNews
Big effort for military personnel traveling across the UK today, which includes more than 1,000 junior soldiers who are expected back at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate ⬇️

The @BritishArmy gets a lot of negativity & on occasion rightly so, but I can't tell you how amazing the Army network has been over the last few days. There are too many to list, but to each & every person who has reached out and checked that both my family & I are OK thank you.

How is it 14 years already. Rest in Peace Foxy, you were the best of us. You were a tremendous soldier, impressive leader, fantastic engineer, great friend, cracking SNCO but principally just a top man. I will be thinking of you, your family & friends today 💔 #Lestweforget

Mrs P and I had afternoon tea and a serious debate ensued. When it comes to cream tea, what goes on your scone first? Cream or jam? My view the whole point of cream tea is to have freshly-baked scones, with jam first & clotted cream on top. She did not agree, who is right🤷
52%Jam first
33%Clotted cream first
15%It doesn't matter
