Reminiscences of Phil Chadwick | ||
Just Another Mug | ||
I have many fond memories of the first intake for Waterloo Platoon, D Company, A.A.J.L.R and must apologise for being the worst junior leader ever experienced. I have it on record from my Platoon Commander so it must be true! | ||
However my comrades did all they reasonably could and eventually I graduated to become the worst recruit of the East Anglian Brigade at Bury St Edmunds. Some progress then! | ||
Recalling some memories sparked off by the AAJLR Website regarding our tortous existance, reminds me of the record number of 'Mugs China One For The Use Of' that I had to replace at my own expense due to their destruction and the reasons for such wanton vandalisation! | ||
1) Having tea in it! (surely not) | ||
2) Not carried correctly in the left hand with the appropriate KFS! (unsoldierly) | ||
3) Not clean! (potential bacteria and the dreaded fluff) | ||
4) Unclean! (not pristine enough). | ||
I must have paid the army more for mugs than any other soldier in history. | ||
Best Wishes to you all. |
