Been there and been accosted by some fat twat in a wooly pulley with his badges off so he could thump the shite outta me.......
It happens and you deal with it. At the end of the day mate, we all do daft stuff and I wouldn't judge as I wasn't there to see the thing go off. No one should judge unless they were there or in receipt of the evidence from both sides. We can only take your word for it.
But my nephew got binned for having a small tattoo which looks more like a birth mark than a tat, you are at risk joining and having this on 'record'. Did they take your name in their note book?
Amazes me that some on here haven't even been to Raleigh let alone able to comment on what the lads down a mess would think.
Aside from that.....if you get through ...learn a lesson....if you are ashore with the lads and one starts doing that sort of shite, then its an unwritten rule, that you drag the little twat off and thump him yourself for being a retard. If you were ashore abroad, and the local plod caught you, you'd probably end up in the nick at their leisure, even worse if you are under sailing orders, miss the ship. and yes they do make you pay for getting you back on board.
Drag him off and run like a twat back on board. then call him a knob. Then make him buy the next round. and for christs sake do not get caught...if you do MOD washes their hands of you and once you have been done by local plod, you APPLY yourself for what's called ' Consequential Naval Penalties' on a request chit, so you get to go to the old mans cabin doff your cap and plead to be whipped. If your lucky they will give you a weeks 9's.
