Swinderblitz
Fond memories
Gay/Suspect DI
Working till stupid o'clock in the morning to get everthing shiney and clean to have the suspect DI and the Sgt come in and FCUK everything up again.
Naafi Bar, we were allowed into the Colonel once before passing out
I even went back to Swinderblitz with an old buddy of mine "Geordie" (Coningsby 229 OCU and Leeming, from Spennymoor), the idea was made from Coningsby in the Naafi where most of the best plans were concocted and doomed to failure)
We drove to Scamton first, I think, from a drunken recollection of events, only to be refused entry, to be turned away at Waddo, the nice guys on guard duty warned us that the'd been warned to watch out for us. (Thanks Guys
)
We arrived at Swinderblitz and the only people on the gate were Smally recruits
We managed to get to the Newcomers Bar only to be ejected by a Rock Ape, who frog marched us to the Permy Staff Bar upstairs.
Where we got an ear full on how standards had dropped, swearing and beasting recruits was banned, so brawling in the Naafi was also banned I supposed.
Feeling dejected we left Swinderblitz for the last time.
I've passed it once or twice since last year, not a lot left to see, ho hum there's no one to blame except successive governments who have screwed over our Armed Forces for too long.
Not surprising that BAe employ more people than the RAF, being in the Forces seems to be a dirty word in these post cold war days
Or is this just the insane rants of an old crusty?
