Jim Perks – The support of my wife

The key tenet going all the way back through this is that my missus has always supported me all the way through and enjoyed the same camaraderie as I have.

She feels as much a part of the Submarine Service as I do.

She comes to all the Submarine Memorial do’s and the Submariner Association do’s and absolutely loves it and meets all her old mates so our families are as much part of this journey as we are, so I’ve been really lucky there.

That’s enabled me to continue for as long as I have.
