More Money Than Sense!!!!
It's nice to know in these days of cut backs and redundancies, that someone has got their finger on the pulse.
Since my Sqn is being disbanded soon due to the cuts, I thought that before I'm posted I'd better take my old No 1 uniform back to stores, that’s the one that looks just like the new one but without the belt. Anyway I popped into clothing stores to drop it off and I was just about to walk out the door when the storeman called me back.
Storeman: Before you go Sgt., could you sign here for your new rucksack? I'll just go get you one off the pile.
Me: It's OK I've already got one of those black rucksacks thanks.
Storeman: No not the black ones, one of the new Blue ones, everyone has to have one. Look its got Royal Air Force embroided on it.
Me: What’s wrong with my black one?
Storeman: That's only for out of area detachments; the new one is for taking to work.
Me: But it's exactly the same.
Storeman: No it's not, it's blue and its got Royal Air Force embroided on it.
So now I've got two rucksacks, the only problem is I don't know which one to put my nice shiny copy of AP3003 in!!!
