Chief Petty Officer beefing to his boss about my airmen undercutting their beer swindle. Apparently the P.O.s were charging the ratings $1 each for their beers thereby making a 100% mark up and our airmen were letting them go at cost...
The "Boss" would mean an officer, surely. This is blatant "robbibg my comrades !" Are you telling us that that a RN officer condoned this barefaced, gross swindle oprerated by the Petty Officers on their own men ?
I was a bit dubious about the 6d a week "Sports Subscription" (deducted from our pay of 2/- a day as airmen - what "Sports" ?), but this pales in comparison.
Union Jack, as a representative of the Senior Service, would you like to comment on this ?
FED, and JW411, keep 'em coming !
