It’s been 5 years since Gary and Simon have seen each other. Simon went to the same pub

from 6 years ago and saw Gary sitting at the bar. Simon shouted, "GARY!” Gary looked

around and thought, “Who is calling my name?” Simon walked up to the bar and

says, "Gary, where have you been? What’s been going on?” Gary replies, “Who are you

and do I know you?” Simon, who is wearing his joke mask, says, "It’s me, Simon. Don’t

you remember my voice?" Gary pauses then said in a slightly puzzled way, "Simon? My

mate Simon? Oh my god it’s you”. Simon replies and manly hugs Gary, "you do

remember me, how’ve you been?" Gary replies, "Not too bad. I’m in the army now.

What about you devil dog?" Simon replies, “I’m fine. I have been moved to the 141 but

I have not heard from John yet". Gary, "Oh well I’m going to Afghan soon”. Simon

remembered he was just there and said "Oh, I’ve just been from there and soon I’m

going to Rio. And if you are moved to the 141 in the next 3 months then you may be

going to Russia, but it’s going to be cold". Gary, “You are joking right?” Simon

pauses and says nothing. Gary, “Point taken but I doubt I will be moved to the 141

because they are the top war dogs, better then marines". Simon, "Well you will be

soon, I just know". 3 weeks later and Simon is in a field hospital. Gary is informed

but is in Afghan and is very upset. John was with Simon at the time the grenade went

off. The last thing Simon can remember was john yelling, "grenade move!" and then boom!

48 hours later, after Simon going into surgery, he finally wakes up to suddenly

remembering the grenade falling near him. But then he snaps out of it and looks

around to then relax. A hot looking girl walks into the room and asks Simon if he is

ok but Simon was staring at her set of muffins. The girl then says, "Simon are you

o... Simon, stop staring at my boobs and tell me if you are ok" Simon "oh what, I

was not staring at your boobs I was umm daydreaming, Oh and what’s your name?" The

girl replies, "Sgt Billie Jackson” Simon, "well Sgt Jackson. Are you single?"

Billie replied with a smile, "Why do you want to know?" Simon, "Just wondering"

Billie’s watch starts to beep, "oh shit I’m late. Sorry Simon but I have to go. I will

see you soon I hope" Billie leaves the room and Simon has fallen head over heels for

the Sgt. 2 days later, Simon has to have an x-ray scan on his whole body to find out if

he has broken anything and finds out he has not broken anything which was a good thing.

Later Simon finds out that Billie is and SNCO army driver.
