The Serviceman
A Serviceman is not born; he is created from leftovers! God built the world and the animals and then recycled the waste to create this dastardly weapon. He took the leftover roar of the lion, the howl of the hyena, the clumsiness of the ox, the stubbornness of the mule, the slyness of the fox, the wildness of the bull and the pride of a peacock - then God added the filthy evil mind of the devil to satisfy his weird sense of humor. A Serviceman has evolved into a crude combination of John Dillinger, Errol Flynn, Beau Brummel and Valentino - a gun welding, swashbuckling – beer -swilling - lovemaking – hero…… A Serviceman loves girls, whiskey, rum, beer, fights, nightclubs, runs ashore, pubs, jokes, long leave, his mates and his last day in the mob. He hates officers, rounds, inspections, divisions, maneuvers, naval police, assault courses, his turn on watch or duty and signing on! 
A Serviceman comes in four colours; white, off white, dirty and filthy - all looking alike under a tan and a uniform. He is brave and brutally defends his pride and is passionate in his making love – as far as he is concerned. He can start a brawl, create a disaster, offend the law and make you lose your money, your temper and your mind! He can take your sister, your mother, your aunt, and when he is caught get his superior to vouch for his integrity. A Serviceman is loved by all mothers, sisters, aunts and nieces; hated by all fathers, brothers, uncles and nephews. He breaks more hearts, causes more fights and keeps the banks alive with interest, yet when he is away from home he is missed more than any other! 
A Serviceman is on every ones mind on this Armed Forces Day and he asks for nothing more, which will be set stone for the future…remember - when you are in strife he is a strong shoulder to lean on, a pillar of wisdom, and a defender of the faith and cause. He will fight for his mate, and die for his country, without question or hesitation! …… So this I put to you on this Armed Forces Day is a true Serviceman! 
I would like to thank everyone that was involved for a day that we will remember for a long time. Great Day, Great Dinner, Great food, Great company…everyone went home smiling.
