Well if I didn't know before, now I'm positive. The military is not cut out for me. :lol:

P.S. You didn't put make-up time in there.
 
I used to have issues with my long hair, what a pain in the a** that was. I'd spend most of the time trying to get it into a presentable looking bun.
And we got 5 minutes because the girls didn't have a communal shower at the time, and there was only space for 1 or 2 in a shower ;)
 
You know how to clean rifles illegally to pass inspection and not have the bluing come off. (Ever seen a silver M16)?

You purchased a size or two larger than normal PT shorts so that you weren't seen in CMFM shorts.

You had grown attached to your army boots and sweater and considered them really comfortable and insist on wearing them even after demob.

You could not stop fading into the background whenever you spotted Military Police.

When gangs of little kids followed you down the streets of east London when you walked home in uniform. In a kilt!

When you disembarked from the homeward - bound troopship, job done.
