Ex-forces cleaners?
« on: July 03, 2012, 07:25:50 pm »
With more amalgamations on the cards,the loss of fine old army units is on the up and up
Be pround and put your name to your old unit ;D
And there must be a reason why so many forces guys are cleaners-it might just be the OCD or coz it was beaten into us ;D

Regards
Roy

3rd Battalion ,The Queens Regiment(the Die hards) 87-94

Its the OCD-it gets me every time,must just get this last bit of spiderweb from the corner,and oh,theres some black crap leaking from the bottom of the plastic,and must just get a cloth to wipe the sills and before I forget,I spelt your name wrong on the receipt-I'll write it ALL out again...... ;D

 ;D ;D

Remember a while back it was reported that they're going to let the TA do more of the regular armys duties, now they're flat out advertising the TA.
All these poor blokes signing up thinking they're doing a bit of team building and mountain climbing - next thing they're on their way over to Afghanistan, bit underhand by the government surprise surprise.
And that's without all the regular armies redundancies which is why this is needed in the first place of course..

I tell you thats the best job in the whole f-ing army. Like my mate, went in RAMC it was mixed! all ugly birds but more legovers than hot breakfasts. On exercise, set up a field hospital, how hard is that? no sleeping in a muddy ditch in the p-ing rain.

Toughest course in the British army is the Army Catering Corps course.

I don't think anyone passed it during the time I served.
