A certain course that used to be held at Locking that taught us how to double-knot and lead-seal mail bags, open blister cabinets and issue and receive various pads and bits of paper and electronic 'guns'.
Crap accommodation, but what really sticks in my mind was the weather was awful, pretty much all the time. No MT (but it was only a 20 min walk from the Mess to the classroom). We'd all pitched up with Geltex(Sp?) jackets, only to be told on day one that these were banned because:
It was a basic training unit.
Therefore the troops had to march everywhere in squads.
It is impossible to march in Geltex(Sp?) jackets.
Therefore the troops shall not wear them.
Not fair for other staff to wear them.
Therefore Geltex(Sp?) jackets banned for all personnel, including visiting students.
Result was that we'd start most 'lessons' wet and miserable; they were boring enough as it was. Of course there was no mention of the ban in the Joining Instructions.
Great leadership, in some respects, but not helped when Stn Cdr passes by in the rain, nice and dry in his warm car. Of course, the airmen in trg were allowed to wear their flasher macs, so they were nice and dry at least!
