One good thing, when we were on Guard, they left the keys to the cookhouse at the guard room with a note saying they had left bread ,bacon , and eggs out so the lads could have banjo's during the night!

Never saw anybody locked up in the Sqn Guardroom, until the Green Jackets came on a temporary stay,think they had more in nick than on parade!

Bunch of thieving drug taking and dealing bastards the Greenjackets as we found when we moved to Dover to take over from them. Their jail was always full, and on a friday it used to take hours to clear the camp as every car and every bag had to be searched on the way out for the stuff they stole from each other and drugs! The crime rate in the town went down dramatically when we arrived as they were all shop lifters being from London and Liverpool mostly and had rapists among them whereas us handsome blokes had the birds hanging off us with no need for that sort of thing! At an occifer's dinner in the Castle I heard the Mayor thanking them for our behaviour which had surprised him after the tales of woe the Hats had spread about us!

Well I knew one or two ex Green Jackets in the MOD Plod, and found them to be sly, backstabbing twats who I wouldn't give house room! So from what you say, it sound like my assessment of them is valid!

It's funny though, I also went to the gym with an ex lt colonel from the Green Jackets and ex ranker

, and he was a different kettle of fish altogether, people are how you find them, mostly wankers!
