Anyone remember the 'original' one armed bandit in the Officers' Mess bar? You used to have to ask the barman (the same RAF lad who served you b'fast, lunch and dinner) to give you a few old one penny pieces.
Oh gawd yes. And I remember said barman serving 'soup of the day' which changed colour, if not in taste, according to what was leftover from the day before

That aside, twas a great few weeks there as a carefree stude in the summer sun. Brings back some great memories

Was any other unit daft enough to challenge the resident SEALs to a game of softball (which afterall is just rounders for girlies, isn't it)? With us fielding: "Back a bit Sirs. No, back a bit more .. a bit more .. err a bit more .. oh sod it, if you're not going to listen to me then I'm just going to wang it waaaaayyy over your heads and you can run miles to fetch it
