Makes you chuckle when you think back to PT kit in training, white or red PT shirt and blue shorts down past your knees with rolled down socks and black plimsoles. looked like the three stooges in drag!

Still had my old red one for years after P Coy with the stitch marks from sewing my name on the front, till the QM called me a scruffy c.nt and made me change it. Wore it for the legendary orders with Max Houghton in Belize along with the blue knee length shorts and flip flops. Had a laugh with George Duffus at Brecon over that one!

Geordie Nicholson (Twa Heeds) was given one of the platoon staff's carefully bleached smock to wash and mistakenly threw in his maroon sweat top turning the denison a lovely Barbie pink. Was shitting himself handing it back on monday morning! 🤣
