Down Memory Lane
We all love a bit of nostalgia don't we? Ask yourself how many times you have been somewhere and have deviated from your itinerary to have a look at
that familiar old and probably now derelict RAF station where you once served all those years ago, or perhaps gone back to look round that town where
you once served, lived or owned your first house.
Most ex-servicemen from all three services particularly those who served during or in the immediate post war era seem to be able to retain that unusually
strong bond between them that seems never to fade. Ex-Admin Apprentices are no exception! Shared hardships and experiences are powerful bonding
agents I think you will agree. Most of us for example still cannot help but tap our feet to the sound of a military band recalling memories of bull, parade
grounds and drill instructors bawling in our ears. The sights and sounds of the a big military parade, the Royal Tournament or the Remembrance parade at
the Cenotaph can bring tears to our eyes. 'Those were the days' I hear you cry, as the veterans march proudly by heads held high displaying chests full of
medals.
Well here is an opportunity Immerse yourself in the stuff. Take time to browse our comprehensive collection of photos and documents depicting life as an
Administrative Apprentice. In addition you can read the articles submitted by our members and selected extracts from the Association Newsletter. If you
would like to find an old friend from your Apprentice days then click Find a Friend, leave his details and hold your breath!
If you can add anything new to our site then please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always on the look out for new photos or information about the
Administrative Apprentice Scheme and ex-Apprentices who we may not know about., Your experiences either as an apprentice or as a member of the
training staff could prove invaluable to us. If you are an ex-Admin apprentice and are not yet a member of our Association why not join? For a modest
annual fee of £10.00 you can take part in various organised events and also have the opportunity to meet old friends at our Annual Reunion held each June.
