All this talk of copious amounts of water makes me soo envious, as ex-Infantry our water frequently tasted of either 'steritabs' or that horrible plasticky taste you get from jerry cans when some plank has left them out in the sun all day.
Could have been worse though, you could be lucky enough to get 'range stew' for lunch...this stuff often festered in the 'Norgi' all day, (although it tasted like it had been in there about a week), before the cooks would think its a good idea to feed it to us... thank god for ration packs..and good old cheese possessed...

Where do you think F1 got the idea from!!! ~everyone had a job and it was well practiced. My job was usually to sit there, hands on head!! (away from the armament switches!!!) :smiling2:
You should have seen us do a weapon load!!!! 3 minutes, refuel, two Mk44 torpedoes and away!!!! A couple of minutes and we could have two air to surface missiles stuck on!!!! AND we never ran over a mechanic!!!!!
Bummer, I bet you didn't have an 18 inch wide bunk bed in a stack of three with anything from 6 to 50 blokes in perfect harmony!!!!!
Mind you, I bet nobody was firing missiles at you then either.
I need a decent soldering iron struggled with the cheep one I have but you get the idea 
Nice :thumb2:
briliant, in my opinion it's just the right amount of 'gloominess' to emphasize the claustrophobic conditions inside perfectly..
I have never painted figures and going to need some pointers off the guys that do it regularly there is 22 of them :dizzy:
there is 22 of them :dizzy:
