During first term at RAFC Cranwell, junior entry lived in 6 man huts (AKA South Brick Lines). Weekly hut inspection by Flight drill instructor (see post #1 story no. 4).

Flt Cdt SOSL unwraps and places brand new Gilette razor blade in his ceremonial (cere) razor. During inspection Sgt R.... finds thumbprint on razor blade, charges Flt Cdt SOSL. SOSL defends himself by claiming it was a brand new razor blade and any thumbprint must have been caused during manufacture. 14 days jankers for calling a reputable British manufacturer into disrepute.

Same Sgt R.... while extremely eloquent on parade square, sometimes forgot words off the square. Hut inspection: he found scrapings from rugby boots under one of the beds in hut 150. Had temporarily forgotten the word for mud. Inspection report read " Hut 150. Bed no. 2 - loose ground found on floor".
