Discuss Ex 11 Armd Wksp at the REME forum within the The Army Rumour Service website; Any old 11 Armd Wksp lads out there?? I used to work in packs and ...
Best Unit ever. Top bunch of lads. I even felt guilty taking a wage. Moved with them to 5 Armd Wksp (so so) then 9 Fd Wksp (crap). If all REME Bn's were like this it would be the first Unit on anyones PPP.
What great times were had at this outstanding unit. Have always been scared to go near REME Battalions since leaving 5 Armd, when they went back to Bordon. Both 5 and 11 had the misfortune to have this callsign but never got round to the idea of coming back to Blighty with them. Must have been there the same time as both yourselves Tin Bath and Spanner Monkey.
Good to hear some are still around to remember the good times instead of all the normal moaning and groaning.
Did either of you used to live in the Bronx?
I started off in the blocks down by the bar, in the massive room at the end. I then moved to to blocks just up from the cookhouse, then when I got back from the gulf I was in the blocks up by the Sgts mess. But the unit was the best ever
I was a refugee from the "Bronx", was in FRG and Packs from Oct88-Jun91,I remember *****,"******************************************* ********************************* and a whole lot more.I agree with the comments about it being a cracking posting. "Big Ben" with BJ the DJ!, OG's,Elli Pirrellis and "Stickies" (KlubAltermann), Q's in Lippstadt and Playas in Soest!
{Edited by H_De_T} Once again I'm having to cull names from posts.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the site rules NO NAMES!!!!!!!
I was 5 but went on Op Granby with 11. Seemed OK and seemed OK when 11 joined 5 after the gulf but it all started going a bit Pete Tong.
I was in V&G then Packs for Granby after coming from FRG33.
Still in touch with some folks.
As for the lads from 11 that came to 5.....I apologise for the conduct of our OC when you came over. We didn't ask for him.
