I think you’re gonna need to be a bit more specific with your missed connection details there m’dude

i’ll be honest, i wasn’t expecting anyone to even see that post let alone respond to it, m’dude

but if you really wanna know, m’dude

so i lived in Canada near Vancouver for a few years when i was a teenager, and in 2008/9 (dunno if it’s still a thing) the BC Lions used to have air, army and sea cadets take this giant ass canadian flag out onto the field for some of their games, which was cool for us cadets ‘cause we got to be part of something fun, see a canadian football game for free and hang out with cadets from the other elements (ha, it’s like atla, we just needed fire cadets and then we’d have the full set)

anyway, this sea cadet and i had a pretty good camaraderie and got on well - i’m annoyed that i have such bad memory problems because i remember what he was like but i can’t remember his name or rank… petty officer Poole maybe??? who knows

i remember him asking all us air cadets why we chose air and not sea or army, and every single one gave the same answer, so he comes to me and says “please, Mills, don’t give me the same answer”, so just to tease him i did exactly that and revelled in his groaning

i’m pretty sure i remember him telling me that he wanted me to take over what he was doing at the flag marching thing when he left, but i moved away pretty soon after and never saw him again - if i’d known i was gonna move away i would’ve asked for a way to keep in touch because ever since i’ve felt like i’ve missed out on having a pretty cool friend

so there you go, that’s my missed connection
