You were lucky to have such an AsCom.

I know that in the late 50s, at a Junior Mess Dining In Night in the Senior Mess, where junior entry cadets were introduced to Mess Etiquette (?), some QFIs convinced some cadets that the AsCom’s car was an acceptable target.

The car, parked just outside the Mess, was lifted up and set down on bricks, so that the wheels did not touch the ground. When AsCom came to RTB and couldn’t get the car to move, he was not best pleased, perhaps because he heard some muffled giggling, and he set out to walk home across the North Airfield.

Next morning, the culprits were asked to confess, and all were awarded 14 days Restrictions.

I may be confusing that Dining In Night with the one when the Junior Entry had to provide entertainment for the Senior Entry after dinner. That is another story.
