Yes, there were quite a few ex-brats in 28 (BR) Sigs in BAOR when I was posted there from 16 Sigs. Quite a few had been Junior SNCOs at Debury Camp, and went on to have accelerated promotion to Lance Corporal and Corporal after around 12 to 18 months in Mans Service.

There was a story going round the camp that one Ex-Brat from Denbury who had acheived Junior Leaders rank of Sergeant, refused to take his stripes off when he came into Mans Service and was posted to BAOR. He become quite depressed when he realized that he was just another lowly Signalman, one amongst many in the unit. Rolling Eyes

Me, well I came into the regulars at the age of 18 because I didn't know what to do with meself. Y'see Daddy had been a Major in World war 2, and Granddaddy had been a Captain in World War One. So I become a lowly Lance Jack first, then a full screw some years later...... it was all so much fun.... at times. Sad

Some of the 'fast tracking' for brats was damned awful.

We had one case of an ex-brat made up to Sergeant from Sapper in little over 12 months. He was only about 19 years old if not even younger.

I am glad I got out not too long after .

Some decisions in the Army seemed straight from the lunatic asylum.

Don't recall any Ex Brats getting any preferential treatment, in fact I think in the Gunners, the reverse was true - it took me 4 years to get my first stripe. Sad Sad

Seconded.
In my experience RA ex-boys tended to get a lot of flak and soon learned to keep quiet about their origins.
Their style of marching always gave the game away though !

Aha ! Someone close to my vintage.
I joined JLRRA in '57 aged 16. I got the 10 bob a week too. We had to put some of our pay in POSB and the rest of the princely sum went into credits.
Barrack room damages ? A bleeding rip off !

Knew an RCE type, trade was carpenter. He joined up with his trade qualifications, was an instant Cpl. Was also a hockey player, had a bending the elbow problem to(heavy drinker and caused problems) the Base Commander was a hockey nut. Was a Sgt in two years. Think that was a coincidence. Not likely, incidentaly the Base Commander was RCA so no corp connection.

I joined the Junior Leaders Regiment RAC at Bovington on 15th September 1970 age 15. 42 years ago today in fact. I did 7 terms and loved it. I went back twice as PS. First time on the RP staff, I met my first ex wife on my crew commanders course, and JLR provost was the first Bovington posting I could get. That was 1980/81 so I was there when you passed off Pinkey. That posting was the biggest mistake of my army career though, 2 years away from the regiment and two years lost in regards promotion. That's what happens when your brains are in your trousers I suppose.

Second time was as a Sgt Gunnery instructor 1985/86. I was in fact the very last 1 RTR gunnery instructor at JLR, the gunnery wing closed in 1986.

Hi Aghart,
Of course I don't remember you !! However you might remember this story........
' I was on guard duty but got there late, so I missed the briefing about a security exercise......I'm now on the gate and a car drives in quickly with Ak's out of the windows etc, I reacted by pulling out my Govt .45 replica pistol which I had tucked in my waist band - all hell was let loose as you can imagine'. Minutes later I was in front of RSM Long (RIP) 16/5th L. my replica was confiscated and the RSM screamed and yelled but commented something like this " naughty but nice PINKERTON". 2 extra's later.............
Never did get it back either !!!

Good two years tho, run like a private school with school hols. I was in band and we played all over southern part of England. We did Hastings and Bexhill carnivals and stayed at the Forces Leave Centre in Hastings. Food so much better than in barracks.

Did you 'do' Boys (all regiments) camp at Sandown (on cliffs) in 57 or 58 or both years? Was a gale one year we ended up with some beer in our tent - dunno where booze came from. Another, or perhaps same year, everyone had the trots.

I was reading earlier that just ten 16 year olds volunteered for the RAF and RN this year. When I joined Boys Service in 62 we had 4 intakes per annum of around 150 boys, multiply that by however many Boys units there were and it is a pretty impressive figure. What's the matter with todays teens, have they no sense of adventure any more?

There's not many places available for boy army recruits these days think just one unit for whole of army. Doesn't seem to be advertised either

I Joined the Army as a boy soldier,15 years old and was at JTR Rhyl. When we arrived at the camp they issued us with our uniforms and packed our civvies into boxes and left them at the QMs stores. After 12 weeks they gave us them back, less those they considered to trendy! The ones we were allowed to keep were listed on a card that had to be shown at the Guardroom prior to leaving camp, we were allowed out only on Sunday afternoons. When we needed new clothes we had to get permission from our OC to draw money from our Credits. We could only buy from one shop in Rhyl which specialized in School clothes. The first time I went to buy some clothes I bought some "trendy" gear from another shop. These were confiscated on return to camp. I was charged and fined £1 = to a weeks pay the rest went in our cedits. From that day on the Army as far as I was concerned was BOLLOCKS. I wanted out. However, I stayed in for 22 years. That another story.

Does the Army Apprentice School at Chepstow no longer exist.
My brother went there in 1952 after bashing a corporal while in boys service at Rhyll - couldn't understand why he should jump the dinner queue!
