It's possibly a good job, sorry about the thread drift here, that you didn't encounter a certain USAF Tech Sgt at Valley one Saturday morning then.
Late Friday and a newly arrived in the UK F1-11 lobs in tech...ostensibly .....cue how to waste a night being "volunteered " along with several others from Eng Wing ( naturally ) to guard the beast. Next day, said American arrives to rectify the "defect "....we watched, with interest, as he filled out the paperwork before signing it with a different name to the one on his uniform.....looking at a sea of bemused faces, he thoughtfully explained that " the asshole had done it to him so he was returning the favour".....or words to that effect .
Although on the subject of signing for kit, I knew a certain J/T on the M.U who, went dispatched to Brawdy, took great delight in signing everybody's bedding out in his own name. This had the desired effect of confusing the aptly named Cpl Mutton in the guardroom who, bless him, could never be accused of having an excess of cognitive development. At one point said J/T had no less than 20 different sets signed out albeit others may possibly have signed on his behalf .....so you would have thought the penny may have dropped by now........alas. .
