We had a guy who "washed" in Brut aftershave until the error of his ways were pointed out with the help of a broom.

We had 'Pet Ops' in the RAOC who used to get a second sitting for tea to give them time to de-gas themselves. [even on exercise the were segregated LoL] Not saying they were a dirty lot, just a dirty job, same as the cooks who needed de-greasing after a shift...

One well aimed Spam fritter from John Boy and I'm a goner !

Memories of the aforesaid had me thinking.

Remember those other dishes the cooks used to knock up ? (usually sunday evening), to get rid of leftovers, we suspected.

Bread & jam fritters was another.

Nasi Goreng, known as Nazi Goering.

When I was at Rhyl a cook there did a pie full of sausage meat.

I'm sure I'll remember more

I did a TTF/UBRE Instructors course at West Moors, it must have been one of the strangest courses, apart from a Small Arms Instrs course at Warminster, that I attended. The Trade Test, after two weeks, consisted of a written exam, transfer of fuel from a TTF to a UBRE followed by the sniffing of 5 phials of fuel which we then had to identify. Laughing

About as many rules we broke back then, but now they phone 'No win - no fee' and sue everyone...

A grot is given an admin discharge as 'no longer required' before they get to a unit these days.

One major difference is, if you get charged with a civil offence within MoD property (i.e. ABH for a Regimental Bath that draws blood) you are still marched in front of the OC but the crime/plea is reported to the Magistrates Court and recorded on your civi 'Crime Sheet' for life..

I was told a few years ago that OCs orders was the equivalent of a magistrates court appearance,I rubbished this and was promptly told that one could have had a cival lawyer to represent one when on OCs orders.When i think of the thousands of squaddies who have appeared in front of an OC had used this option the MOD would be bankrupt.I did know that for a court martial a cival lawyer was permitted but not for OCs orders

Do you think one of these no win no fee chaps would have a go for me Laughing
