My son Michael is on his way to Catterick today to begin 26 weeks training with the Parachute Regiment.

It's been his target since he was a young lad, and at 30 years of age, he's worked very hard to be one of a very small number to be selected for the course this year.

Well done boy. You've made your old man very proud.

VPOB (Very Proud Old Boy) :D

Nice one Alan.
Michael is obviously a chip off the "Old Bloke"
