A couple of examples from Ballykelly, late 60's

Practice AOC's parade a bit of a shambles and SWO screams at his runner who's directing operations "call out the time Sgt. *******". Said Sgt looks at watch and in best parade ground voice replies "0945 hours SAH" SWO terminates conversation with "get off my parade you thick Irish chap".

After a fun night in the Pig's Bar one was invited to enjoy the company of the duty RAFP until next morning. Coincidentally the SWO held a snap inspection of the troops as they waited to board transport to the tech site. Those who lacked the required standard were duly lined up in the guardroom to make their excuses. From the comfort and safety of my cell I witnessed the following exchange.
SWO...airman, your shoes are almost white, explain!
SAC....my feet sweat a lot sir which dyes the leather.
SWO...Very good and original excuse lad and I'd let you off if your hat badge wasn't such a dark green colour.
