Like you, I was posted to Honington, but on the Shack squadron, and found myself languishing in those ghastly huts out back. Then they appointed me Mess Secretary. I devised a cunning plan, my lord, to have all the rooms in the main Mess allocated to bachelor officers on a points system according to rank, seniority and time spent in the huts. When I used the Warning In book to show how few days various married men had spent in the Mess in the preceding year, the PMC, God bless him, approved the scheme and
ALL the beanstealers were booted out of the main mess to make way for single living in officers. Seemed to work.
Cheers,
Neppie
