You can go back to Britain now, by the way I'm curious as to know why 30 + years in the military couldn't land yourself a pension. People who serve in the USA military after 20 years receive a "master" grade of sorts and can get a full salary pension. Of course, you may already have this and you just want to wind others up for no other reason than to flaunt your own ignorance. Absolute obedience to authority is something you just can't live without, eh?
