I don't know if anyone ever equalled our (157) record of no weekends off at all during the whole of AAITC, one particular reason I remember (Another HP classic) was him doing a block inspection and finding a brick wrapped in bodge tape, used for '58 Webbing weights, and decided it was an IED, bang went another weekend as we had to parade at various hours of the early morning and report to the guardroom on each occasion. On the next course DM was the flt cdr and on the Sunday before the course started beasted them all repeatedly up and down heartattack hill. All going well untill someone broke an ankle, all hell broke loose after that.
