I always enjoyed those quiet moments of reflection during shovel recce anyway - perhaps that's the inner reason for liking compo? A few quiet moments alone - straining?

Once got a bloke a corker. There he was aving a dump. Artic Kit all over the place. Finished what he was doing turned around and found nought there! One confused bloke.

One of me wingers had placed a snow shovel under him so once he'd done his duty for Queen and Andrex the shovel was wipped away. He was well troubled until it was disclosed to him what had happened.

O happy happy days!

There is always going to be one aint there? Regardless of what service they are serving in. Long live the idiots who made service life bearable!!!! :D Because without them it would have been boring as Hell during the quiet times. Volunteers for the position of "Splash Pilot" are required now. Anyone want to volunteer to feed the Seacats? Now just where is Jobag?

To be honest I think our entire regiment was made up of idiots, except for the arse lickers who wanted arm decorations. It really was a laugh a minute. The one exception to that was 'fun runs'. What ferking idiot thought that name up??

We had a Royal Signals Bloke attached to our unit in 1980. Smashing lad called Bob Hope. he came from 5 Airbourne Bde. Cracked the AACC and was an asset to the unit (Commando Logistics Regiment Royal Marines).

Anyway he had his Para Wings, his Two Stripes, Commando Dagger, and lastly his name on the right breast of his Whooley Pulley. Four Badges in fact. Well in the Wolf Cubs many years ago you got a "Leaping Wolf" if you earned three badges or more.

Bob goes out for a run and whilst he's out I stitch the "Leaping Wolf" badge on the left breast of his Whooley Pulley. The Poor sod never noticed until he was in the HQ getting summut from the Army Pay Cell Office..........The WO1 in charge looked at his badges and commented on his Leaping Wolf! :D By heck he got a farking sad on No Messtins!

As it was he admitted that it was a Goodun later. One smashing Guy who I wish I could RV with again. Much later on I was having my leaving run prior to re-training as a Printer due to injuries I recieved down South (it must have been about 1985) me and my Oppos went into the Fleet Club in Plymouth during the course of the Run. Anyway these young Bootnecks started giving Bob a hard time saying things like "This is a Naval Club, whys a PONGO here?" Wrong move on their part that was!

I let rip at them and asked how long they had been in. It worked out that most had been in a couple of years. So I then informed them that Bob had been attached to the Royal Marines for five years and prior to that had been in the Airbourne so best they SHIT IN IT or rank would go out of the window and I would beat the shit out of them. I hasten to add that most of us were SNCO's and above. The look on their faces..................To this day I reckon they had never come across a group of SNCO's who were quite willing to beat the crap out of each and everyone of them. As it was they naffed off and the leaving run took up from where they had hacked me and the rest off. So if anybody knows of a Guy who was in the Royal Signals called Robert Hope please let him know that Steve Evans wants to get in touch with the Git! :D

Love the "Leaping Wolf" bit. Did you give him a sixer's badge too?

Nar, I aint that cruel.

Once knew a guy who was a Boy Scout/Wolf Cub leader and he used his Green Lid as part of his Arkela rig. There he is one Monday Morning on Parade wearing his Lid still with the Boy Scout Cap badge in. Our Boss looks long and hard at him and then clocked the "Deliberate Mistake" The poor bloke never really lived it down from that day on.

People would ask if he had tubes of Smarties and bags of shiny coins on him. It didn't go down to well as at the time the News of the World had run an exposee of Pedophiles within the Boy Scouts!!! :D

We had scout instructors as well. We called them poofs long before there was any 'outing' in the papers. LOL
