Just had to share this with everyone although it's so trivial it's pathetic really!
Have just returned from a trip to our nation's capital Canberra. What's the big deal? Well it's the first time I've flown for nearly 7 years, I'm claustrophobic and have a deep fear of flying due to some pretty horrible past experiences.
I was determined to go see my son who's at the Royal Military College Duntroon (like Sandhurst and West Point) have his first passing out parade after initial training. O.K. it was only a 1 1/2 hour flight but it's a start right?
B.T.W. he received the marksmanship award for best shot. First time a cadet from a civilian background has achieved this.
I'm a very proud mum right now, It took my mind off my pain for a few days too, now back to the daily grind.
Cathy

That's wonderful news, and to be able to take a trip with your new disk.

I forgot to add that my Maverick didn't trigger any alarms even though it's all metal. Bugger!!!
