13th February 1996, Jimmy who is 22 years old has had enough of his job and wanted to
join the army little did he know about it? He met up with his mates, Gary and John. At
the local pub and told them. Jimmy told them he wanted to join the army. Gary was
laughing but said, “If that is what you are going to do, I’m doing it with you" both
Johns looked at each other and asked, “Are you sure about that?”. Jimmy and Gary
looked at each other and answered, "Yep we’re sure" John said “I’m in the army, But
I was moved to Task Force 141, And if you two are lucky, When you join the army you
will hopefully be moved too, BUT, only if you are lucky”. After talking some more
they all went home. When Gary got home he realized his key didn’t work. He then
looked up and saw a note saying, “I’m sorry Gary but I found out about your affair and
it’s over. All of your stuff is in the garage, from Katy P.S. the wedding is off”.
Gary sat on the door step and cried for a moment. Then he went to see Jimmy who lived
down the road. He knocked on the door but there was no answer. He knocked again and
Jimmy answered, "what the fuck are you doing at my door at this time of night”
Gary trying to reply without crying, "I've been dumped and kicked out of my house. Can
I stay round yours?” Jimmy replies, "of course you can but you are going to have to
sleep on the couch" Gary feeling a little happier replied, "Ok and I'm going to go in
the army no matter what" Jimmy replies, “Same, but, in a week or so we will go for
the interview". The next morning comes and Gary is gone. Jimmy thinks that Gary has
started training for the army but deep down he thinks, “I’m going for the interview
today”. Half an hour later, Jimmy comes home with a big smile on his face but Gary
is puzzled. Jimmy tells Gary that he went for the interview and he is going to the
army and that his training starts when Gary was going to go to the interview with
Jimmy. But Gary is not happy that Jimmy went to the interview without him and Gary
thought that he would join the next day. Next day comes and Gary is again gone but
Jimmy knows where he went. Gary is waiting to be interviewed and the guy next to him
tried to talk to him, but Gary didn’t pay attention to him. The lady at the desk said
over the PA, "Can a Gary Sanderson please go to room 4, thank you". Gary gets up and
walks to room 4, he opens the door and sits in the chair in the centre of the room.
After 2 hours he is told he is not in. But can try again in a year’s time. Jimmy gets
the bad news and says to Gary, "You will get in, you just need more training". Gary
nods and heads to the pub. Later the next day Jimmy gets his name changed. After a
while of paper work the woman behind the desk asks, “What is your new name then
sir?” Jimmy replies, “Simon, Simon Riley”. The woman says “o...k.... and there you go
Mr Simon Riley”. The woman hands over Simon’s new passport and driving licence.
Simon takes his new passport and licence and leaves. He then decides to go to the
pub called “The Lancer” and somehow meets Gary there. 4 minutes later john walks in
and says, “Hey Jimmy, what’s been going on?” Simon then says, “I’m not Jimmy any
more, my name is Simon Riley”.
