That's What Friends Are For

Did I get caught and go to jail?

Errm - no.

As 'romantic' as it might have been it probably would have spelt the end for me and the future Mrs Soldier.

I only had four weeks left in Northern Ireland and if I'd spent those four weeks in the camp nick then things might have been very different.

Fortunately my friend was on duty that night. He could have been bust (reduced in rank) for covering up for me. But he did.

I like to think I'd have done the same.
