Mum says never underestimate WO's... but thinks your quick thinking reply is a good one. She also innocently asks what colour is the carpet and figures if you don't know, you can tell me tomorrow.

Haha, eyes front always. But it is grey, same as in my office. I only know cause I regularly collaspe on it after a grueling PT session.

Hope he hasn't got round to counting the rivets on the 25lb-er towing arms (if that's what they are called!)

That would be the trails, and considering there is one parked just outside his office, I wouldn't be surprised if he is out there now, pacestick and all, counting them.

PT???? Since when? I thought if you blokes couldn't take your guns (and therefore the truck to tow them) you weren't going - and as such all you had to do was get onto said truck.

Have a close look at the front of the gunshield, next to the shovel. There's about 50' of rope there, a drag rope. 60 years latter and the old crusties still like to get the young un's to drag the guns, for the time when trucks arn't there! Helicopters are not that accurate and will dump a load where ever they seem fit, usually about 50m downhill of where the gun is meant to go!

But isn't that what Gunners are for rather than Sargents???
