Subject: 'Dinkies and Pinkies' Author: Jim Martin [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:46:24 02/07/05 Mon Following on from what DP has said about landrovers. I can remember a time in Fally when for some apparent reason I was let loose behind the wheel of the 110. I must admitt that I did drive like a crazy-bastard. I would'nt so much as drive it,as aim the bloody thing in the general direction and put my foot down on the gas-peddle. Anyway the'Powers that Be' decided I needed pulling back into line before I became a 'Kamakazi pilot'...So,yours truely had to go on a Re-test to kerb my irratic and so called dangerous driving. They put me behind the wheel with 'Big Ron Havenhand' as a stablizing influence. Him sitting there with a starting handle in his huge paw of his hand ready to inflict a good sound tap across my kneecaps for any infringement that I was guilty of. Regardless that seemed to do the trick. I would'nt say that it cured me of all my bad habits,but it certainly slowed me down somewhat....Which brings me onto another point concerning the 'Double Standards' that were so evident in them days! Especially to do with the Rank structure for example ... If an Officer got totally blitz'ed and proformed. It would be judged as 'High Spirits'. Whereas if a Gun-bunny did the same he was classed as being an Animal!....The punishment was always more servere for the ordinary Rank than the Rupert. I was always convinced that the Officer's should lead by example! Never mind the Bullshit that Rank has it's privileges. In my opinion the Officer should have received more punishment than the lower Rank to emphassis the need for example....as was'nt he supposed to be the leader of men?....What do you think?...........
