I got a letter in the mail today and before i opened it i looked at the reference number above my name. It looked familiar but i couldn’t tell why. I knew it from somewhere. Then i opened it up and found that the letter was from Military Super and it all came clear because the number was ….

MY ARMY NUMBER

How could i forget that. Once upon a time i knew that number off by heart front ways, back ways and any other way I needed to know. It was on every piece of work clothing i owned and at times was it any more on my mind, then it would have been tatooed on the inside of my eyelids

How quickly i forget - its almost 3 years since i discharged from the Army and almost 4 years since i finished my last call up to the regular army.
