The Long Journey

Have you ever served in the Armed forces? Or have you ever wondered what your loved one is getting up to while he or she away? This book is all about my 22 years in the Armed forces. From my training to my finale in Bosnia. From a naive Private to Warrant Officer in one of the truly great Infantry Regiments. There is no rose coloured glasses. Just the reality of the pain, hardship and fun of serving in Her Majesty's Forces. The joys of comradeship and the frustrations of working alongside people you at times detest. The bizarre times when your life is in limbo, when everyone you meet has one aim, to 'kill you', by any means possible. To be able to smile at people and say 'Good morning' while they are spitting in your face. To give aid to someone you would sooner dispatch to the next world, takes a special kind of courage. The kind of courage the soldiers of Her Majesty's Forces have in bucket loads. This is my story, I hope you enjoy it. Please visit my website at: http://roybanwell.org.uk/
