    Brilliant!

    Just a couple of words of caution of you'll forgive me (from personal experience!)

    1. Wear waterproof mascara
    2. Take plenty of tissues

    Just how cool is that!! You must be extremely proud, and I think Legs may be onto something about the mascara and tissues. I hope it all goes well - it will be something you will never forget.

    Aww, well done him! Can only reiterate the aforementioned about waterproof mascara and tissues, and don't do powder or you'll have trenches down your cheeks on Friday! You must be so proud - enjoy every minute and take lots of pictures!

    Thank you to you all for your replies it's so good to know I can let loose on here and your all pleased for me, I really am excited now! And I think it's a trip to boots today for waterproof mascara lol, I've already got plenty of tissues, and yes I'm sure he's prepared for the mum embarrassment! He doesn't mind though bless him. Gosh I fully qualified Soldier!!
    When he found out he'd won the Best Marksmen Award he said 'now you don't have to worry when I'm in Afghan Mum!' Not sure it'll console me any though, but I went along with him as I know he's well aware there's more than bullets as am I, but one day at a time and at the moment Friday is the most important one and we only have 3 sleeps to go! Yipppeeee, then after that it's my daughters families day in October! Thanks again to all of you xxxxx

    Well got my waterproof mascara! How hard is that stuff to buy lol, I'd have wanted Extreme lashes or 360 degree lashes? Whatever they are or pump up the volume! But just plain ordinary waterproof mascara is like gold dust! I know I'm going on, but it saves me from getting too excited only got 2 sleeps left!

    That's fabulous news, very well done! When my mum and aunt went to see my nephew pass out from Raleigh they were in bits! They blamed the running mascara on the rain and wind
