Good drills Dave Two weeks

I gave my first tape back one day when I was feeling a bit put upon. I took it back under duress as they didn't have good enough reason to bust me and short of landing one on the stick man I was stuck with it!
Some time later I was told to forget any chance of gaining a second due to a difference of opinion with another Sgt Major. I didn't laugh up my sleeve too much when he shook my hand some six weeks later to congratulate me on getting my full screw up.

Funny old game soldiering!

A very big "Water Tank" Dave is on it's way, just for you mate.

Right then you lot, ............
"WAAaaaAAAAKE uuUP !!!!
"STAND BY YOUR BEDS" !!!!!!!
"Hands off c**ks & feet in socks" !!!

I propose to be CO's Driver,

Cos I know where everywhere is, ............ (without a Sat-Nav) and I'm good at saluting people who think they are in charge !!

I have a clean drivers license, and have just been through a criminal records check, "again" and it also is clean ..........

I'm a qualified advanced driver and CP trained, I hold a class 1 licence, so i can, "if called upon", take the boat & trailer on holiday with us and I can drive over very humpity bumpity ground, ................... faaaaast !!

And as CO's driver, I'm excused all duties & duty driver taskings.

It's a tough job but someones gotta do it.

Ken (The Fatboy)
