Roxy:

I can't believe that you would question the many years of experience the good men of this site are imparting to you young'uns... tut, tut, tut... I wish I'd had this kind of advice before I joined one of the "Big Three"... can't say which... PerSec and all that...

Remember - if you think your DS or training screw is in the wrong, you tell them so. Look them in the eye and tell them that you think it could be better done this way or that way, the army loves new ideas and initiatives and your training staff will appreciate being shown better methods which speed things up. Example - you will know that cleaning rifles is a waste of time, its always going to go bang when you want it to - tell your DS this and he will appreciate not having to stand waiting for you to sort your gas plug out.

There are no straight lines in natures so don't bother ironing your kit as it will give you away when in the field.

If you make it to trade training, its not always essential to first parade your vehicle, the British Army procures the best kit in the world, the chances of your veh dropping its entire load of engine oil, gearbox oil or brake fluid onto the deck will just never happen, so why check, your screw will thank you for sving time which can be better used at the scoff wagon

Dont forget to reprimand the duty chef when you think the food isnt up to standard, you pay for it therefore as you would in a restaurant - complain and ask to have it re cooked, well done, or changed. The sloppos appreciate feed back. Always take more than you want, its polite to leave food on your plate.

Incorporate all the tips you picked up, watching Ultimate Force. When in the field wear that black bandanna, and have a machete on your belt. The DS will tag you for early promotion.

Tip No 252:

If you use all your leave days, don't worry!!!

Since 'Leave' is now classed as 'Absence', you cannot be done for what was AWOL (as Absence WithOut Absence is a misnomer).

So any time you want to pop home, feel free, the Discipline Sgt will have to back you up when you get back.
