At the time, there was a lot of inter-battalian bragging rights.. (2SG) went south on Corporate and didn't these guys on 1SG want to get involved (at any cost)? As a slightly unruly airman on 34 Sqn at Akrotiri, I was once invited to do jankers with 2SG.. pine pole races up and down Happy Valley wearing early body armour and steel helmets. Not via the road but using re-entrants, bondu tracks and through the b*stard scrub.
I still remember the official designation of a Compo sweet screamed into my brain at close range - "sweet general service issue, hard boiled, coloured various, suck or chew". Slightly tangential note - who remembers the RAF JNCO murdered by three Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders at Akrotiri at about the same time? They dropped a paving slab onto his head near the Pen Club.
