yeah, its ok now!!ha, you think me being in the navy, i shouldnt get sea sick...i dont, its just the weather in the atlantic just now, its not nice!!!!!
thanks very much for your kind words, thats why were heading for NY, after 9/11 my ship, HMS ILLUSTRIOUS, the one in the picture, we were the first british warship to deploy to afghanistan, we were there for 8 months, but it was for a good cause, so we have been invited over to NY for 4th july, so we are there for a week, then heading to virginia for a couple of days.
well dude..... we do have satelites on these warships, we get net 24 hrs a day, werever we are in the world!!! its great, and just for info, we 20 miles south of were the titanic sunk!!!weird!

im in the british navy, im in the middle of the atlantic ocean, on my way to new york, we get there on tuesday afternoon, looking for tips on things for me and about 700 other sailors can do there!! trhank you!!!!
well, i just met, the most amazing girl a couple of weeks ago, and guess were i am now... half way across the f*****g atlantic ocean, heading for the states to do a big exercise!!! gutted!!
im for sure not a government puppet, im in the navy...not the army, so we dont have tanks,and i have been all over the world, enjoying myself, so i have lived it pretty good, so if i die tommorow, then be it, thats not selfish, you could get hit by a bus, have a heart attack...anything, you could die anytime, fairplay you enjoy your life, i enjoy mine, just cause im in the NAVY it doesnt say that im not having a good, enjoyible life
its nothing to do with taxes, we all have to pay them, ok there a bit high, i agree. its to do with pride, and what you believe in, the uniform you have on, the people your doing it for,
as a little kid... i cant remember, but...i know im well happy with what im doing..so, maybe this is what i wanted to do??...hopefully,..i thinkso??lol
