I am scruffy. Not intentionally, mind you (I try my best) but I'm just one of those people who always looks (to quote numerous NCOs/ instructors/ family members/ supervisors) like a sack of tits.
This was reinforced when I was sorting out a photo album the other day. There's me in my TA days wearing combat gear. I look a right state, despite everything being clean, pressed (etc). I wasn't spacky, you know like the bloke in training who puts his boots on the wrong way round and tucks his trousers into them and tick-tocks around the square. Well, not often.
Then there was the blissfully brief period of time I spent in uniform in the police. FFS I looked a mess. Again, I was trying my best but for some reason uniforms just don't suit me, possibly because I'm a big old lump. Thank fcuk I wasn't in the regulars, with the profusion of different dress like Barrack Dress, or No.2's or whatever. Phew.
I think I look my best in my shorts (khaki, la-di-da Gunner Graham), T-shirt, Merrells and sunglasses. Luckily, I can now and then get away with it at work. In a suit we are heading straight back into sack of tits time again.
So, I've put my hands up to it. Who was the scruffiest fcuker you served with and why? Who is the scruffiest unit in the army? NAME NAMES. Or are you a dashing fcuker who would look the mutt's nuts in a binbag?
V!
