Introduction from a Scotsman - hide the booze
Good day all, I am Douglas Gray from Glasgow in Scotland, I found this site due to the kind actions of one of your members who gave up his own time to join us in the humiliation of a Fake Ranger (and also a fake Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu* instructor who is ripping off kids. *choppy socky stuff).
A little about me, I served in the British army's Royal Corps of Signals from 1984 to 1991 and reached the dizzy height of lance corporal. I worked in supply in large field unit in Germany and Cyprus, and then did a little ECM, ECCM and basic Int. stuff in Northern Ireland.
During my service I managed to get HepC from somewhere and had a few ups and downs before getting my health on an even keel. I now take a bit of care about it and manage to do yoga/pilates classes, visit the gym and train in a traditional martial art as well as do my job as an Administrator.
I joined your site as I like the mindset, humour and out look of the members here and some other Ranger veterans I have read on other fora. Hope you don't mind if I lurk a bit and read some of your output.

However, we'll have all the single malt scotch whiskey and Guinness you've got available.
