Good evening from Afghanistan
Hi everyone!
Just popping in to say hi. I'm from the UK and am a member of the Royal Air Force. I am currently serving in Afghanistan, but geography hasn't proved a boundary! I have put a deposit down for my first Rolex, the Hulk. I should be able to get it just after I get back, in a few months. I have a Breitling Aerospace, and used to own an Emergency as well. Anyway, just thought I'd check in after years of reading! |

Nice to hear from you. Retired US Army here, work for a Brit security company. Been in and out of that place for work for sometime now.
Be well and know that when your time is up you will have a Hulk awaiting. Godspeed. |

On a completely different topic, someday I need a Brit to translate some terms I read in books and articles. Like, what is a Toff, a Nob, Naff, and so on. You guys definitely don't speak American
