Hallo, hallo.
Just noticed my "Number of messages" has been stuck at 295 for yonks.
Passed over for promotion again !

brum

no it`s not it`s 296

Oh, bugger. I bet that's why I got passed over !

I see it's 297 now Brum. Do keep up, there's a good chap.

There you are, you see ? It DOES pay to complain, once in a while !

But still no promotion?

Do you need 300 for promotion?

You must be due for a Field Marshall's baton by now Jim !

Oh I don't know Brum, Stephen has got me beat.

I`m surprised that a grotty little major is allowed on this thread.

And a wee drop of the water of life in the tea please..

My very first 'job' when I joined up was cleaning the ablutions...

I arrived four days early for basic on an air trooping flight from Germany and wow, it was actually fun.... NOT

I must have been very lucky, a part from the normal block jobs in Basic, I never got to do anything like that.

My worst job was at brat school..Tin bash in the cookhouse..Still have nightmares about that.

Funny that, I arrived 4 days early at Deepcut as well after attending what was then a trials 'Recruit Selection Process' at Sutton Coalfield. I was put into a long room, and joined by a re-enlistment the following morning. We were told to bed down in civvies, [even though I had a basic working dress from recruit selection, which the Deepcut QM knew nothing about!] to keep the room & abutions clean and tidy [which were spotless, as the last group had just moved out] and were visited each morning to check on us, otherwise I was left alone till 'Form Up' day when we were treated as if we had just arrived with the rest.

Now then, My first 'Block Job' was the 'Blanco Room', which was worse than Abutions anyday! No one told us, but the best was to clean it was with buckets of hot water to dilute the blanco, followed by a scub down, and as I had worked in a butchers shop, I soon got on top of it, as it was the same problem, differant crud!

Snow shoveling. Loads and loads of snow to be removed from around the QM Stores on the week end. Cdn Gds Depot . CFB Petawawa.
