I was in 16 Fd Sqn 3 Tp 87 - 91 (nickname Rambo at the time). JT was the troop staffy! How I miss the bar in cellar. Jamming keys into the pool table to get free games all night. Sqn AO couldn't understand why the table was only making 5DM a week but being played all the time! :P

I suppose the AO was one of those wet behind the ears LE officers that would never have done anything like that himself................
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

I too was in 'suicide Sqn' 88-90 in 1 Tp with the likes of Minger Epps, Kev Probert, Jase Bayles etc. Particular memories of Dee 'borrowing' the 7 foot high inflatable dog off the roof of C &A. Luckily it was just prior to one of 'Biff' Hemingway's room inspections!!!!
Those were the days....30 years, man and boy....hardest job in the world that....
Also remember Sid Guils haven't an inflamed testicle which we couldn't quite close the Naafi Bar shutter down on!!!!!!

After numerous postings outside of the Corps, I got posted to 42 (Geo) in Aug 04 and went to....... 16 Geo Fd Sp Sqn! It wasn't a patch on 16 Suicide Sqn. It was a million times worse and full of Geo Mongs! Glad to say to say I am no longer there!

MInger Epps is still out in Traz delivering Coke to the YMCA!
And that dog was a fecking gorilla! and it was bigger than 7 foot. The only way we got rid of it was with a jack knife, Deo, rob Miekle, me diving all over it to get the air out. the room inspection was that morning. fecking nightmare.
Sids knacker was fooking massive. I thought he had it chapped in the end.
Miss 16 big time. no other sqn came close. Browny was the best staffy by a mile!
If in doubt, blame someone else
