• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

What are you drinking Xmas day?

The boys I grew up with that went to the navy are fine upstanding citizens now.
Never out of work after leaving.
Disciplined, fit and wise to the world.
Too many never broaden their horizons it experience different cultures/ways of life.

I know quite a few people who were in the forces, all top people and are exactly as you say dicky.

Even though I never been in the forces I have lived on my own since I moved north 33 years ago, it taught me to be disciplined especially with money, my first job YTS, (remember those?) I got £25 a week and my mam took £10 from me, then when I got my first full time job I got £43 a week and she took £18, that taught me to pay my way before indulging myself and that's exactly what we will be doing when our boys start earning.
