No I was RAF, did consider the Royal Marines as they have a good reputation in the west country and people respect them. I did go on a pre selection course at Lympstone, was tough but enjoyable. My interest was more into aviation, so RAF sealed it, I was lucky that i got a grant for flying lessons when in sixth form but due to becoming bored and disillusioned with a-levels i went in in the ranks rather than seeking a commission as an officer. It meant i didnt have to pay the grant back though! I only did 20 hours so never got my ppl. Ended up as a weapons tech. then had a few health issues and got a medical discharge.. i miss the good sides of the job but hated the RAF's petty ocd rules on things to do with kit. A friend of mine who joined same time was a avionics tech and got posted with the red arrows, the lucky so and so spent several months every year in cyprus and travelled the world with the red arrows.Was you in the corps Gavin? just asking with 40cdo being in Taunton.
