My dad told me that between the wars (1st & 2nd World Wars, not the 2 Gulf wars
) he had to 'dine in' 7 days a week in mess kit and if he wanted to dine out he had to write to the PMC.
My best Ball was Colt in the early 80s. Lived in an OMQ next to the Mess. Went home about 5 am. Got up at 10 am and went back. Party still going strong. Whatever happened to Colt
My best 'happy hour' was at Chivenor. Fell off my bike on the way home. Fell into the bushes on the disused railway track; on top of the Stn Cdr.
Same Stn Cdr ordered me out of my OMQ at 4am after happy hour to continue drinking at OC OPs place.
I note he will be at the Hunter Reunion at Kemble this Sunday
