I got this casing as a ceremonial souvenir during my time in the military. I was thinking about getting it engraved as it was part of the gun salute for the queens passing in 2022.
Any ideas on where to take it? Is it even safe to engrave? It’s brass but there is a blue residue on the inside. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
So I left in August last year. I was a gunner (AWW) for just over 5 years. However, on the outside it’s been hard to transition to civilian life. Left with no idea what I wanted to do and no real plan, was just wrapped after years of TAPs and Falklands deployments tbh. I’ve got a job but I know it’s not what I actually want to do (although the money is a lot better than the Navy). I’ve enquired about rejoining as a WE but this would mean I’d have to start phase 2 again, I’m not eligible for fast track. I think some real qualifications from being an engineer would help a lot in the civvy world and I know it’s really not that hard to do. I guess 25 /26 feels too old to be rejoining and starting from the bottom again. Is there any alternatives out there people recommend? Is it actually worth rejoining? Any advice would be great.
