this is turning into a naughty boys conffesional, I wrote in the key book that the rsm is a wa*ker, i meant to cross it out by the morning but i forgot, the same rsm (long) always checked the book first thing in the morning, it was't long (no pun intended) before he sent for me, he said you were duty driver last night were you not ? i said (standing to attention) yes sir, he then opened the book and pointing to a columb of signatures said this is your writingisn't it , i of course said yes sir , he then pointed to the comment that i had made and said well then this is yours as well isn't it i faked shock and denied it , i then blamed my mate pte Thom , who had left that morning for a three week medical cover so he said i will get back to you but he never did.

we used to do floatation training on dorbam in 432s did you have them , we had mk1s at first but then got mk2s they were much better as they did not catch fire every five minutes.

I went to soltau training area on exersise and when i arrived, our reme ssgt was in charge untill the main party arrived , he saw me and pte Thom and said i am not having both of you here one of you will have to go back to munster, it was frikin miles, anyway he sent me back , when i got back and got up for parade the next day the rear party oc sent for me and said i was going to be charged , i asked what with and he said i don't know yet i will let you know later, he sent for me again later on and said apparently you have done nothing wrong , the reme ssgt just could not tollerate two first class bast*rds being there with him in charge. what a cheek.
did you go to the ramc reunion that they had recently?

mk1s were crap they kept catching fire and you had to keep opening the bloody inspection hatch 14 bolts i think to put it out, also the exhaust running along the top was dangerous.and you were forever doing pack changes.

i got 14 days jail but they sent me to the 5th inaskillen dragoon guards to do it instead of our guardroom , that i assure you was no joke ,my sense of humour suffered for a few hours but pte Thom was there with me as he got 14 days for the same charge. i suppose it was better than doing it on my own, mind you he still managed to drop me in it with the rp staff.

4GS the mk1s had that as well but we were told never to pull it because it would ruin the engine and as they caught fire on a daily basis it would have been counterproductive , you just opened the inspection hatch and used the stock of small fire extinguishers that we carried . it worked every time.

no all the 5th skins i met were Irish and they relished having me and pte Thom visiting them , i am English and pte Thom was/is Scotish.

I never got my hands on the sa80, only teeth arms had them when they first came out and i had left by the time the Rct/Rlc got them.
