I never thought i'd be begging to get an earlier mobilisation that the one my unit is roled for. - i suppose i never thought i'd be so keen to fight, or that the unit i would join has such a niche role (which i love to peices) that it would be quicker to buy myself a commerical plane ticket and buy a gun on arrival.
I never thought i'd join the military. - Big into my action men and whatnot as a kid, but grew outa that, then bam, all of a sudden i'm poncing about in camouflage shooting stuff. Rather epic turn around.
I never thought i'd get laid (ha! up yours world
) - all that worrying as a pubescent kid was for nothing, thankfully.
I never thought i'd get a tattoo. - or that they'd be so danged addictive
Not many big ones (well, there are, but not really suitable for public domain...)
