Always used to put a squiggle in for the sections I had never used, such as bicycle store, when clearing.

Only thing I really made money out of was when I went to Belize in around 1979 for 10 weeks (my replacement cancelled and I reluctantly stayed for an extra few weeks.). Only did about 2 day’s work during the detachment as they never had 2 Harriers serviceable in the same day.

The army issued me a pay book to get advances on my salary for spending money and I used it liberally during the detachment for trips to the keys, down town etc. All in all I think I took out about £200 - an awful lot for a Fg Off at the time - but a one off trip of a life time, so what the hell. Got home and waited in trepidation for the inevitable bill to arrive - which it never did.

Thank you army........
