[josh1234534547]

these guys are the best goody is a right laff spent the last week working with him top lad, get your self in the regiment its the best thing you will ever do. i know i will be in a few years time

[rockapelossiemouth]

yea her is a few pointers, dont join, get a real job, haha. goody, ur a homme.

[WeeWeeWaaWee]

A true inspiration. im joining in 3 years but im preparing just now any pointers on the aptitude tests

[vrealrad]

why 3 years? im kinda worried about the aptitutude test cos i suck at tests but i know ill be fine with everything else!

[whitey14uk]

If you're maths is crap buy a GCSE matha revision book, same thing goes for english or mechanical principles etc and just keep swatting up.

On the day of the test stay calm, speak to the guys you're taking the test with which will help you all relax and just crack on with it.

[kiashae2]

i still love gav & worry bout him he just dont get it that giving up my whole life here to move so he could stay in the raf regt with you guys was more than just his ticket here.. waiting for him and the worry of him being a soldier or staying with him no matter wat wasn't good enough for him wat more can i do?

[kiashae2]

cool as song writing gav showed me and i sent it to all my band m8s. It nice to see ppl write with heart and feeling plus play and sing so well. Some my band friends touring europe and some in movies so see if they leave you comment also... Excellent work and just compliment on good work. true true and i would av waited a life time for gav read the poem i sent him i write also and meant every word i wrote.

[rachyhuni]

[01slashrocks]

omg that was amazing.

[jackn93]

I've got nothing but respect for our armed forces personnel serving both abroad and back here in Britain. Keep it up everybody, you're doing a great job!

[paulreeve]

Tells it as it is! You guys and gals are an inspiration to every normal thinking citizen of  democratic society. Well done. My family and I often think of you and I thank you for serving us.

[ccalvey123]

...and people say that soldiers dont have souls. Utter respect to you paul, you are a legend and an inspiration. I have been considering joining the RAF reg for a while now, but your videos have helped me make the right choice - I have my aptitude tests next week, then hopefully in 2 months or so i can begin training. keep up the good work guys!!! our hearts and minds go out to you.

[colleenax]

thats so gud =] yhoor a great singer :P xx

[RandiDenise]

[clare30111987]

right all of you people giving this guy abuse give him a fucking break and get a life! everyone in the forces serves there role and there is no fucking need to abuse him because of his role! i was a serving soldier myself! what you going to do abuse me for that

get a grip of yourselfs!

he fights for the queen and country just as you lot do you have no right what so ever to comment!

if you have nothing better to say then dont say it at all!

[trailermaker2000]

Don't think you'll struggle for a job after the RAF with talent like that mate! Thought that was absolutely awesome. Keep up the hard work mate, you and your pals are doing an amazingly fantastic job. My love and respect goes to all of you.

[loobypaver86]

If that doesnt make everyone cry whos seen it then i dont no what would.

[strango20]

[madzangel]

God bless you son...My heart goes out to you, sit tight you'll be back very soon in the arms of your loved ones..Beautiful song, really touching, I don't think I could ever go that far without my 6 string on my back either^^

[ederlie]

[elvislover256]

Huge huge respect......Take care x

[sneakyp82]

[nightshadow452]

[mallows74]

[wengdudez]

does anyone know this guys e-mail address? i would love to send him lots of letters..hehe really sweet guy

[olivedrabbdu]

jeez - I'm really torn. To see this wonderful, touching, blatent, healthy comitted person, fighting in our names, for us, in this malignant, fruitless, ill-conceived, catastrophic American debacle.

[makemle]

They have been a real insipration and insight into how life really is and id like to thank you for taking the time out to do them, as ive applied and to cut a long story short ive got my PGAC next month!

Anyway keep up the good work, all of you, and hopefully ill see you soon !!!!!

[rhoda321]

Goody

[51sqnwife]

Thanks, What how many songs have you wrote or recorded, did you do the pub and club scene, i won't say i might have seen you at some point as i'm old and havn't been on "The Town" for years.hahaha.

[tommyrice1]

Hi Goody, well done mate, like broken pieces best though. See you all soon.

[medsrme]

Awesome video & song. It made me tear up. I'm truly thinking of the one I love who is also serving in Afghanistan (US). Makes me want to send him his guitar! :)

I browse your videos often and am so glad that you post! Keep up the great work. I'm pulling for ya! Eventhough you don't even know me, I am grateful for your devotion to serving your country and the world! The road to return home may seem long at this point, but don't lose faith! Hang in there! Thanks again! God Bless!

Quality song there mate, good songwriting and great singing.... but at the end of the day that big NORTHERN IRELAND flag in the background steals the show ha ha :D

[AverageJoeUK]

Great Song mate, keep doing what your doing. all respect and best wishes!

[MokasDoSul]

respect,beautiful song,it aint cheesy,it shows compassion and love, something i imagine is quite rare out there at the moment.songs like that can touch people,a soldier in the middle of afghan singin between duty to show how he feels,dont get more pure n true than that.You'll soon b holding in ur arms the ones you love so keep you head up and stay vigilant,you are and will do great things,as are all the others soldiers over there, look after each other, give em hell and watch you're backs.

Just wanted to say that you have helped keep me sane these past 2 months. My boyfriend is out there in Kandahar (think he met you a few weeks back - Ian Boreham) and its enabled me to see to understand what the conditions are like.

What you have done with these diaries is show everyone what life in the forces is like and for that i think you are a star!

You'll be back home soon to stay so chin up, you're on the home straight now
