Just wondered if I am the only one who gets nostalgic for Credenhill every time I go to Halton on a course. It really was the dogs bo11ocks and it was a sad day when they closed it. Down town on Friday night at the Kerry arms, the Ula bar, into Sticky carpets then up for a chinese at the Dragon. No trouble 'cos peple didn't know which unit you came from (could be Stirling lines, nudge nudge). Xmas 1977, we had a party every night! There was 5 women to every bloke and if you didn't score you were gay! (although some of the steward trainees were a bit sus!) 5hagging in the TV rooms (BBC 2 was the best, no one watched it) and Kipper getting a blow job in the study room, then walking into the bar and announcing it! Sangars were another good fondling slot, kept the wind off you, although the sand gets everywhere. Tapping off with the lass on guard with you, then finishing with her the day before your next gaurd! Leaving do's at the Priory or Halfway house (with Tesco Lil the local lush, god bless her!) Cleaning the basic Waafs shoes in exchange for your ironing done, then getting your shirts back with a "bra crease" ironed into it doh! Trying to hide from the Discip (the ever scary Terry Boisell) and failing every time. We were once paraded along with every single course, on a Friday night, and bo11ocked because someone had left semen stains on the snooker tables. It was a tribute to the awe we held Terry in that we didn't pi55 ourselves laughing on parade! This was all during my Phase 2 training (ex Swinderby for Phase 1 and I spent time at Cosford and Innsworth, remuster was a great thing) I went back for Phase 3 and specialist courses and never failed to have fun. Also as a young (17) lad I got my first stand up 5hag, in my best blue (we used to have to travel in it) on the Hereford to Crewe train, Xmas 1977, Alison G you were a goddess!

Hereford?
Bop nights on a Sunday when you get back to camp...ace!
Rugby Club on Tuesday nights, kicking off with Rocks...fantastic!
Further trainees doing the door on the bop to stop the under-18 YTS recruits from getting in (apart from the fit girlie ones)...SACs with power...great!
Fighting the locals at The Restoration Pub on the roundabout...character building!
Nailing WRAFs in the bushes inbetween the blocks...priceless!
Great days, great guys, great times!
Calling all Stackers - What was the most amount of money you spent whilst on your 4-week Q-Sup-SC course?
Mine was £948.00, not too shabby considering I was only clearing about £520 a month back then as an SAC. Bring it on!

Problem is, Hereford was like the 60's. If you remember it, you weren't there! Heady days on Supp 1, sneaking into the Trenchard 'cos the Portal was full of permanent staff "NAAFI Cowboys" who just whinged at us FT's. Making sure the YTS girls knew you were an SAC, easy pickin's! As to cost my Supp 1 (8 Weeks) cost me an overdraft of over £250, not bad considering we were only on £300 a month back then.

Jeeez!
Jeeez!
Thought I'd spend a few minutes trawling through the different trade forums (fora?) - imagine my surprise to find a slagging in the stackers area! To put the record straight - yearly salary on enlistment was £276 15s 7d.

I can hardly remember my SC course but I do know that OC Domestic was very unhappy with that months bank statement
On the plus side I believe the Restoration was able to redecorate the bar quite nicely

MTC28 said:Wow Stax,
I remember Terry boisell back at Hereford in '84 The man was a legend!!!
Did he tell you that he lost an eye due to a disc grinder?
He had both his eyes when I first met him, and both of them often wandered in the direction of the (female) trade trainees! He was a legend though, no two ways about that. The guy could appear out of thin air when you were ferkin' about in a squad, although his favourite hiding place was behind a fire cart outside the Trenchard.
