Re: Draftie has been good to you.... Best and worst jobs in
Best Draft: It's a draw, Puma and Castland Hill W.T.
Puma, I wasn't in the Greenies mess, put in the jungle with the biggest bunch of "Jolly Boys" ever. No surprise that I was awarded a "V.G.Mod" a little under a year later!
Castland Hill W.T. for the work and watchkeeping routine. Cycle was: Friday 09:00 until Monday 12:00, 24 off, Tuesday on, 24 off, Thursday on, Weekend off, Monday on, 24 off, Wednesday on.........8 days off!!!
Best number? Easy, Bin Man in Collingwood, Blue Card. Our kids ex-shipmate sorted it when I'd finished killicks course.
I think, three mornings a week, ( someone had to do Saturday Mornings ), met Fareham corpo wagon at the main gate, hanging off the back for an hour or so then off to the W.r.n.s. quarters for tea.
About oneish each day, to the piggery, hop on the back of a flat bed, with one side board and a tail gate. Hanging on as we tore round the galleys, picking up pigswill, then back to the piggery to offload, then finish!!
Health and Safety, what Health and Safety?? Day done!
