Yes, RAF in early ‘90s. Taught me how to polish boots, shoot a gun (SA-80), march, stand around for hours, and flew a Chipmunk once.

It was a choice of either that or ‘Community Service’.

We don’t have the same health insurance system as the US, but I really feel for people anywhere in the world who fall ill and can’t access affordable healthcare.

There is health insurance if you want it in the UK, but most people use the National Health Service, which is free. I am always grateful for this.
