NEWKID 27,676 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 As has been said hats off to all these lads ive,close mates out there now, and I know how much it affects them. The night before my mate went this time we went for a beer, it's his third tour, the last one was a bad one. He didn't want to go, but like he said its his job. Another mate from childhood been a marine all his working life, been on a lot of tours and seen a lot of shit. He came out and came to work for me and my brother.... He hated it with a passion..... He's back in the marines lasted civilian life around 2 years... Lost his fiancé over going back in.... We talked a lot when we were working away together and they deserve our respect, make no bones about it..... Full respect to all you lads on this thread..... And to your son in law Gnash.. I wish him all the best.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
