Re: How do you know when you are an old sweat?
If your first ND went "Twang" and you remember forming squares to recieve cavalry.
If you see re-enactors wearing the uniforms you were first issued.
If half the kit you used is now displayed in the Imperial War Museum.
If your latest uniform includes a tricorn hat.
You are deffinatly an old sweat.We have got plenty of youth, what we really need is a fountain of smart.

When you go to an association dinner, and the guest speaker is a (retired) Colonel-Commadant that you trained as a recruit!
I don't feel old. I don't feel anything until noon.
Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons

When your tin helmet had a spider in it!
When guns were black
when someone at work talks about historic vehicles called a 'Ferret' and you tell them you used to drive one!
when you reminisce with other old sweats about 'mixed fruit pudding and oatmeal blocks'
When you laugh at people doing a BFT in trainers
When the driving test was two words, 'giddiup and whoa!'
When you remember Spangles that always had the paper stuck to them
When you know what 'blot bang rub' means
When you tell your kids off for having twisted shoe laces
When you make your bed at home with hospital corners

When you repeat yourself on forum threads! Or when about to retire sgts mistake you at a reunion for a long dead CO!
"I'd rather be a tired old Has been, than a tired old Never Has Been!!"
"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

According to Ispeakcrabandpongo "Typically Island Ape Brits," That suits me!

You Know the dimensions and how to put together a bed block.
