Trying to remember the guy who did it now, several names are popping up.

I was definitely told at the time by someone from my course who lived a couple of doors down that there was poo pushing involved. I didn't know he was on his way already though, I thought it was purely for the lifestyle choice.

I remember one of the names but not whether it was the ironing boarder or the boardee. I didn't know either of them anymore than from seeing them around the cookhouse and Catterick Building.

The RSM was a hard but fair man yet unaware of what was happening under his nose even though a Welsh Csgt was trying to out the sadist amongst the staff.
I also saw an F&C lad go insane and walk into the CO's office put his feet on the desk and light up a smoke, this went on for some time until the sadist and RSM had a blazing row and it all became clear to him. Eventually the sadist ended up in my room alone and Three of us beat the living shit out of him.

Bloke who got PT'd to death wasn't called Stevens was he?

(94 does ring a bell though). Look at me, using the words "smoker" and "bell" in a post about noshing gayers.

He'd probably have been alright if he'd done it on a Wednesday afternoon.

No, I'm sure I saw something about the incident though. Not wanting to blow your PERSEC, but you weren't bust from Sgt Maj for filling in the CO were you?

Were you bezzers with Tiny, Porta, the little legionairre and Barcelona?

When I read the first part of your post I was expecting to see that you'd promptly escaped into the Los Angeles underground.

Dear god......It's prison, it's supposed to be like that.Either don't break the law or don't get caught. You did the first and failed at the latter

It was a complete sack of shit and the star system proved that to everyone's satisfaction. The MCTC was a model establishment that turned out good soldiers or prepared bad ones for civvy st.

People like this moaning little wanker piss me off because they can't do the time then bleat on about being stripped of their identity and other buzz-bollox that are thrown around by those who can't hack it or are looking to make a few bob out of being a no-mark loser cunt. He joined the Army and he wore a uniform and then abused the privilege, got caught and now feels he was wronged. Grow up and fuck off, you were clearly never fit to wear the uniform and you aren't fit to post on this site.


If this is a sock puppet wind up, you've just got the biggest bite of your life. C'est la vie

I did 112 soldier on in 1976 and echo all that you say about the staff. I never once felt I was being stripped of my individuality in fact if anything it made me more determined to stand out as me. In my view how you got on there depended on how you as an individual approached it. Mind you I had been out of JLR just over a year so most of what we did was just like being back in training.

I look back on my short stint there with some affection and amusement not bitterness.
