A bit morbid I know but there are 2 stories that need confirming.
1 When I was doing basic in 1980 there was a story about a young rating who hung himself because all his family were wiped out in a car crash on the way down to his passing out. Now, Ive always took this as an urban myth but is there any substance to this tale.
2 January 1981, A trainee was made to jump into the Raleigh Pool and he died due to the shock!
