Worst ones, in my experience, were Site Guard at Menden. Murder, Polis!!

Sleep after duties.....luxury, we had to do the normal days shift after.
From the Guardroom to get showered and changed, then work.
No rest for the wicked.

Best duty was Buck House, had my own Batman dontcha know?

Edward.

Gnr Henson.

I used to love reading those occurrence reports, great laugh sometimes.

Oh and talking about Mrs Webster, we had a guy report to the guardroom with a bread knife stuck in his back, we called out the duty medic who sorted it and the Dr came and sowed him up. It tuns out hos wife had stabbed him in the back after a fight. he went happily back home and she was all tears and sorry. Thank god i wasn't married to her is all i can say.

Thats the one Daveb but, as you say when you put things into perspective, by comparison we did have things relatively easy. Life was so much simpler then.

Site Guard, what a job.
I missed a couple of stags when our unitwas on site guard, and they were going to charge me until they found out i was in the guard room the whole time.
After my stag i grabbed some grub then hit the sack.
The only empty bunk was the only one that was three high (needed oxygen) and no one thought to look up that high.
The look on the guard commanders face when i walked into the guard room from the bunk room was superb, bearing in mind that that door was the only exit from the bunk room.
He wasn`t so happy when he was being marched in.
No further action was taken against me, though.

Happy days,

I recall sitting in the Guardroom at the Menden site one Saturday afternoon, bored out of my skull, from nowhere there appeared what looked like a Platoon of American MPs commanded by a Major who demanded that we let them them in to the inner sanctum, which we did. The Yank ATs or whatever they were, were all arrested and replaced by the MPs, apparently they were all heavy smokers!!

Back to Mrs Webster types. We had one wife who shall be nameless. I can't remember it anyway, who..... er... how shall I put this? Was making love to an empty bottle with no lid on it. This caused a vacuum and got stuck. Signal had to be sent to hubby on a tour in Ireland to notify of her admittance to hospital. I believe he remarked "at least it wasn't some other guy she was doing it with!"
