Got my dream posting- Belize, Central America for 6 months
For a laugh I asked to get posted to Belize for 6 months as the chances of getting it are virtually impossible as there is only one space for a Corporal Chef in the British Army.
My boss told me today that I am going in July
How lucky do I feel

I am well looking forward to it, I went on exercise to Jamaica for 6 weeks a few years ago and that was such a cool way of life that I didn't want to leave there 
Chip , I'm going to speak to Nath today as I said I would go to Castle Coombe tomorrow. Just don't want to drive the car all the way there as the clutch is fooked.
Will probably drive down to Nath's tomorrow morning and hope I can jump in with someone else , unless you have a spare seat?

Two of my mates went there for a while. When they got back they had some right funny stories to tell. One of them was about a big fook off spider that each night would appear on the wall indide their hut where they slept.
Apparently it lived under the hut during the day and came out without fail onto the wall at night. It came to pretty much their last night before retuning home and decided to have a few beers round the fire , after quite a few beers they decided to get brave and get a cardboard packed meal box and go catch it
They went in to the hut and there it was on the wall
After arguing who was going to approach the spider and trap it in the box. One of them braved it and caught it in the box and fiercly wrapped it in black nasty tape. Then they went outside and threw it on the fire
They sat back down on the logs for the warmth of the fire and continued drinking.
A few minutes later a smoking spider shot out of the fire and retreated under the hut
Needless to say some of them fell off their logs and were quite woried what the spiders revenge would be for the rest of the time they were there
They nick named the spider Arnie

see if the locals still sell onyx hand carved chess boards and if so bring a few back 
heard a few "war" stories off the old man. skimming tree tops on a rope ladder suspended from a helo was one also having to get a bollocking for mistaking a local fishing vessel as a full scale naval invasion was another 
I am only a gunner was his answer
sure you will enjoy it, just stay away from the local ladys of the night
