Ah, the "good ol' days" .....
* Sam Browns
* puttees
* jacket and tie walking out dress for all ranks
* table service in the Officers' Mess
* the bar open from noon onwards in all messes
* Happy Hours treated like a mandatory event
* Warrants who would take a mouthy barrack room lawyer out behind the vehicle lines (with no repercussions for the Warrant)
* references for pers admin limited to CFAOs and QR&Os, no Army/Area/Base/etc rules, regs or extra forms
* regulations that actually let a CO fire a crappy soldier out of the Army
* weekly sports afternoon, for everyone
* "march the guilty ******* in"
* regular by the bunk inspections by the Sergeants Major
* and no more of all that human rights crap, right?
ahhh, it all brings a tear of nostalgia to my eye.
"Have the Pioneer Sergeant put up the triangles RSM, I feel a flogging coming on after I hear the charges this morning ...."

You really should drop by the First Battalion, on any Friday. The Officers must say good night to the CO as well...
I have seen a few soldiers and one officer fired recently
We are still pretty good at this - at least in theory.

Remember Pack Drill................. Kapyong Barracks............. Had 2 privates opt for 4 days of pack drill instead of
being formally charged for conduct unbecoming etc....
I was the Duty Officer and as a brand new 2 Lt had 5 days extra duty (fell asleep during a mess dinner) and was required by the Adjt to stand out on that cold paarde square and supervise(?) the duty Sgt with -35 and a 40 kph wind out of the north.............
Sometimes the good ole days are good for a chuckle and a fond memory....... but the kit and equipment is much better today...............

Must have been really tired, or the most boring mess dinner ever!! ..........
I had been up all night after a party at the Palomino Club and then prior to the dinner had a couple, or was that several warm up drinks before the dinner?
This was pre-Germany.......

NL_engineer said:would you also propose we switch equipment also :
And don't bring in the worked for them so it will work for us, statement :because if you go back, and ask these people I bet they b****ed as much about there kit as we do.
just my 2 cents
Troopies bitching about issued kit? Who'd have thunk it. >
