Good grief! Sgt Rhoose. That name brings back memories. There was one practice parade where a certain individual, tasked with raising the RAF flag, managed to get it stuck halfway up. "Mr. -----, you're an idiot, bring the f----g thing down and start again!" . So the poor guy brings it down and starts all over again. It's again halfway up when Sgt Rhoose shouts " The f---g thing's upside down", and he throws his pace stick on the floor whereupon it breaks in goodness how many pieces. He was livid; that said, he was a great guy who was always on our side, so much so that we invited him to an end of course ball at the cadets mess and presented him with a new pace stick.
