Used to live in a ditch or under a hedge 3 or 4 days at a time, cat napping, no luxuries like a tiolet or even a carrier bag to use, you did it where you lay and worked it out with your hand, then had to remember which hand it was when eating... And when you got back no one would come near you for about 2 days, even after three showers and a block of hard soap....Same, a few I have worked with were overheard gobbing off about my 'tall' tales being cobblers. So!! Prior to a shift start I sat them all down and made them watch a short video with Moi staring!! That closed down the back stabbing. Not my fault if the closest they had come to excitement was getting their comb stuck in their hair!!
As for what I did. Common knowledge us Fleet Air Arm types are laid back sun gods and the clicky sun bed was invited by the FAA!! I simply quoted Military Flying Regs, which stated 'ALL aircrew are to get 8 hours uninterrupted sleep a day'. To which I added; 'and anything they got at night was a bonus'!!!!
You must have met the same magistrate I did, was it an old grey haired wrinkled old bat, and that was just his wife....It wasn't all my choice - the Magistrate had a big say in my future as I recall ...

I have this problem with authority, brought on by authority, that is why I rebel against authority.... They even gave up sending me tax forms to fill in, have you ever tried to open out a screwed up and flattened tax return - they just sent me the money.I haven’t even got to the apply to apply for the ID. If it’s that difficult - stuff it!
I’m registered as a veteran at my local doctors - that’s enough for me.
Hoops??? I’m not a dog on an agility course!!
Older than Methuselah I recall and uglier than a Gorgon - and he was certainly no candidate for a Vermeer! :tears-of-joy:You must have met the same magistrate I did, was it an old grey haired wrinkled old bat, and that was just his wife....
Thanks for the thought and work you put in letting us know about this scheme.Maybe this may be useful to some of you old Vets on here,
A while ago the governement announced it was going to start producing an actual Veterans ID card, I'm guessing it helps to put a stop to 'stolen honour' which any Vet will know is when a 'fantasist' ot 'walt' takes glory in claiming he/she actually served our country, when in fact the closest they ever came to signing on the dotted line was watching ultimate force on the T.V.
''Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Rt Hon. Johnny Mercer MP shared:
...... Veteran cards provide ex-service men and women with a tangible connection to the important contributions they have made to the defence of our nation''

Anyhow..
I like many others applied for this, and It turned up this morning.
So if you're a Veteran then take a look at the following website , fill in the details and one will be made up for you..
hope this is of interest to some of you..
