Well its been a strange day. Not the xmas i’m used to but hey. There was no family bonding. No getting gifts or seeing your loved one’s expressions after spending hours looking for that PERFECT gift.
Instead it consisted of normal guard duty and the occasional relaxation whilst waiting for your next duty to come up. Although the days precedings went on in a more chilled out fashion its still not what anyone pictures as their xmas day.
Being inside the army during xmas and xmas eve kinda makes me realise that there are others who whilst the world celebrates one holiday or another there are people somewhere on duty be it by choice or by not.
So my wishes go out to those who spent xmas on guard duty, on stand by at police stations, hospitals and firestations. Merry christmas to you.
so keep in mind on new years there are also going to be people working to ensure the safety of the public… Why not go past and thank them for what they are doing and give them your wishes.

As for my family, i’m sorry i couldn’t be there with you for the festive season esp after all that has happened in this last week. See you soon and last but not at all least… RIP thie!
