I was a STAB in the Royal Army Pay Corps, RAPC or Rape and Pillage Corps as it was known
Now part of the AG Corps

From 1986 to 1994 rose to the dizzy heights of Sergeant .

Based at Worthy Down, Winchester, did stints at Middle Wallop (Army Air Corps),Waterbeach (cambridge) Detmold & Fallingbostel in Germany also Cyprus and HongKong.amongst others

Great days, good mates and as a weekend warrior I could leave it all behind on Sunday night and go back to my normal day job.

Best of both worlds

Conduct prejudice to good military order and discipline, the catch all section for anything that didn't have its own

 

[G1BB0]

its funny cos once on OC's orders, CO's orders you were screwed. Guilty until proven guilty

 

[beggsy]

Think this has to be one of my biggest regrets in life

You don't choose what you fly pre entry.

Every trainee pilot starts on the same and get streamed into stuff that suits their capabilities during training. You could have been flying Fat Alberts around instead.

I have no idea what happens beyond getting an interview but tornado pilot was what I applied for and that's what was written on the reply they sent. I'd probably have ended up as Tom Cruises rent boy

 

[G1BB0]

and you would have loved every minute of it!
