Never. Not in a month of Sundays. My borstal only had CCF (Army). Of course, nowadays, they've gone all fluffy and added Naval and RAF sections.
No, I did a weekend course at Lasham in about 1970 - said it was a long time ago. Throughly enjoyed, but never had the cash to continue. Just shows, though, how valuable a teaching aid mnemonics can be.
