Re: What did you want to be as a kid?
Did anybody else just want to be a real boy? I was just so sick of tripping over my strings

your nose is going to grow now 
I wanted to be an RAF Pilot, but, wearing glasses put paid to that. I could have gone for selection as a Navigator, but I was so set on the Pilot thing, that I turned it down.

Re: What did you want to be as a kid?
I wanted to be a soldier - then I finished military school and decided to do IT instead, with soldiering as a side line....
Still got to go to war though

I read that at first glance as "and decided to do IT instead, with soldering as a side line."

Rules are being relaxed now.
The glasses issue was only for fighter pilots, if you wanted to fly troop carries etc you could wear glasses, provided your eye sight was adequate without them.

And unlike fighter pilots you can be blind as a bat because a Storm Trooper has never been known to shoot at a Jedi knight or a registered bona fide hero or heroine and hit them.

I remember it well mate, I was there for round one in 91-92.
Back again with 3 Commando Bgd, setting up safe haven's for the Kurds. Then 6 months in Sarajevo in 93.
Still, I miss being a sniper in a target rich environment.
