4 TTS St. Athan late 50's, winter, about 1500 boy entrants on parade awaiting pre-AOC's inspection.
Sgt DI notices a boy in the rear rank in front of him is wearing only one glove.
Not wishing to cop the flak which would come his way if it was noticed by the inspecting officer, without moving his feet he leaned forward to a near impossible angle and growled in the boy entrants ear, "faint boy".
Lad whispered back "but I'm alright sergeant".
"Faint when you are f******well told to, and you two on either side of him, carry him off".
