My first thirty minutes:
1974 Devonport Dockyard. Reported onboard with kitbag, suitcase,
pussers grip and then told everyone lived inboard. The Duty L/H
was pissed out of his tree (LRO). Went down the ladder and into
J/R's grot. Sitting at the back of the mess was another new submariner
who was being force fed sarnies - spread with Colemans full strength
mustard. The duty driver (AB from Hull - also completely bladdered),
told me to get my stuff in the boats transport and he drove like a
bi-polar-pissed boy racer back into HMS DRAKE and hurled me out
next to the inboard accommodation.
Welcome to boats.
Any other recollections?
