I JOSEPH BOOL SWEAR
BY ALMIGHTY GOD THAT I WILL BE FAITHFUL
AND BEAR TRUE ALLEGIANCE TO
HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II,
HER HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS
AND THAT I WILL AS IN DUTY BOUND
HONESTLY AND FAITHFULLY DEFEND
HER MAJESTY, HER HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS,
IN PERSON, CROWN AND DIGNITY
AGAINST ALL ENEMIES AND WILL
OBSERVE AND OBEY ALL ORDERS
OF HER MAJESTY, HER HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS
AND OF THE GENERALS AND OFFICERS
SET OVER ME.
How's that for a commitment?
It's only 19 days till I go. Which is immensely scary but at the same time, ruddy awesome.
With nearly a years worth of work put into this, it suddenly seems frightfully immediate.
Oh well, time to rock on..
oath,
fear,
army,
commitment,
excitement
