Re: Steve's favourite place....
Tell you what Tone, me and Chalkie had a weekend in the depot nick prior to moving down there and that was much worse. After the first couple of days we found it pretty easy, as you know after you've done P Company, getting shouted at doesn't really bother you. Recall a few hats crying their eyes out though. Once we organised a Grenadier Guard to bull our boots for us we were okay.I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it. -

Re: Steve's favourite place....
So Steve did it square you away and get you sorted into a super soldier or did it, as I suspect bounce off you like a water balloon off a Mallard.
I was looking at those Screws.....you gotta be some sort of a degenerate pond scum human being to want to do that to your fellow soldier.
Reminds me of Ian Hendry in "The Hill" a couple of them. I mean this ain't Dartmoor where you got a population, most of who my old man said should have been
executed straight away, and you need hard time nasty warders. This was sheparding young miscreants that do daft shit like high jacking tellies for the most part.
Now I know somebody has to do the job but who in the fook would volounteer for it. Like these blokes must have. Or do they get posted against their will ?
Fancy a job where you are shouting and inspecting to an insane level and punishing people at people all day long ?"If they control your speech.....they control your life"

Re: Steve's favourite place....
Cant honestly say it helped much Tone, just a bit more careful not to get caught next time. Yes I always wondered what sort of person would want to join the army and do a job like that. Probably leave and become parking inspectors. Shouting "you can't park there mate"I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.Comment

Re: Steve's favourite place....
Remember we had a fullscrew in 2 PARA who was never allowed back to N.I. for tours of duty, so he transferred to the monkeys & got posted to Colly for this crap, wont name him on this forum for the obvious reasons."Whilst drinking from the well, never forget those that dug the well"Comment

- Having taken into account the current COVID restrictions that currently apply in the different parts of the UK, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 reunion. The Chairman Nick Butler will be heading up the Fan at 0930 hrs on Saturday the 15th May and he will lay a BAFC wreath on behalf of the Club at the summit. He will also toast The Fallen. If other members wish to make their own pilgrimage up the Fan at their own risk please follow the relevant COVID restrictions that will be in place. As a Club we are not able to accept liability for members safety and well being over the weekend of 14/15 May. Our Clubs insurance that normally covers Fandance will not operate this year. Update to follow reference Aldershot 10 Miler on the 20th November 2021.
