ARmy Rumour SErvice

Dead right RCP. Looks like you and I may have been there at about the same time.

Soprano,

You stand correct young man. Just a reminder I remember 2 pothole locations Pridemslea and Baker Pit, was there anymore?

I loved potholing! Not recommended to do it after a night on the slash with other PS members, unless they have corks up their arses!

escalation--who in their right mind thought up that ..id like to see a risk assessment done on the jlr.s these days you would not get past going in the gate. its a wonder any of us survived.its no wonder we are all unhinged enough to stay in the army 23 years or more...good carecter building stuff i loved every pain encrusted min of it...

And don't forget Dewarstone Rock.

My god is that old bicycle frame still there?? it needs to be recovered and mounted as a memorial at Stanley Barracks. Dewerstone Rocks!! How I hated rock climbing. Dewarstone was the start point when I did Gun-carriage (later known as escalation) and we pushed and pulled that thing all the way to Bicklie Viaduct where we then did the high abseil and the poor sods who had just done that then had to take the gun carriage back to Dewerstone. There is something to be said for getting the worst over first!!.

I was always on PT first followed by swim, I would have hated to have done it the other way round. FLASHBACK!!! We then had to double back to the block, get changed in a flash and then do DOUBLE DRILL!!

PT/Swim followed by double drill was there anything worse?

Blumin nore Tiny, as I get older my memory is fading, but your's just seem's to be getting beter.

PS. I'm EX 102.

Another memory of Renney............Mrs Mac's cafe shack.

'76 - PTI that wore a grey beret used to ask individuals if they were of the Jewish persuasion, on replying 'No Cpl' he would say 'Are you sure?' - 'Yes Cpl' - 'Well put some bleddy polish on your pumps, wall bars go'
