Chuff charts at Eastleigh when the standard overseas posting was two and a half years, with no phone calls or e-mail.

30 Sqn Beverley doing a ten-wheel drift in the mud at Eastleigh, then claiming he was 'testing the surface'.

The numerous guys trying to convince the powers that be that they should be discharged because they were too eccentric to be 'in'.

Rocks from Khormaksar trying to make out with the WVS ladies who ran that leave camp at Mombasa. They were never that good looking fellas.

Inventory checks by junior officers who hadn't a clue what it was you showed them.

A kit inspection at Cottesmore when said officer inspected some items at least three times, having been passed along behind his back.

The Irishman who fell out of the upper floor barrack block window at Cottesmore, having opened it to take a leak. Fortunately too pi**ed to remember, and too relaxed to be injured.

"Fat Jack" , the Maori guy from 14 Sqn RNZAF who removed the juke box from the McGregor Club.

The cacophony made by chinese cymbalist who bounced off a funeral truck outside the gate at Tengah, and the Rocks who helped him to his feet!

The entertainment provided by the Rocks whenever they went into the Tengah Bar, which was often!
