The 'esteem' I had for the folk who ran the raf gymnasiums was cemented during my first days a Cranditz after we were forced to paint our trainers white.
Singing 'let's do the timewarp again' after the staff said "to the left with a jump" always went down well too.
Managed to get out of a few x-country runs at Finningley by getting my mates to tell the staff I'd been chopped. Scheduling ped first 2 periods in the morning followed by 2 free periods before lunch? Get real, I always needed a lie-in after a night drinking '151' - at least until I'd had a couple of years practice.
During fitness tests at Lyneham I always made sure to wear my Marlboro T-shirt, normally with a packet of 20 in the handy breast pocket.
