hotrock Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 I myself served on 51sqn Catterick, 34sqn Cyprus, Sd814 duties Honington, Qcs all over, Gdt Lyneham. I finished serving out my last 3 years at Halton where i was on the ft 1 & 2 training team, also helping out with the raw recruit training as and when needed. i have to say i wish that i had never left sometimes, but the training of the new recruits was becoming unbearable, IE they were not allowed to run in their boots for the first couple of weeks and god forbid if you shouted at one of them, chances were that you yourself would end up on a charge for bulling / beasting /character building. But i do miss the camaraderie more than anything. Link to comment https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/182909-ex-raf-regiment/#findComment-3288373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fintious max Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I wasn't a pebble monkey but was posted to 16sqn honington as the adj in 98 - it was cancelled a week before and I ended up at Coltishall on 41(f). I was at Uxbridge 92-93 and knew a few of the QCS lads. Them were the days!
