oh by the way a answer to jag I dont believe the messes should be open to the rdf on your fun camps due to the fact your cause more trouble then a bunch of whombles on mayday and you do not pay mess subs and you do forget the fact the it is like a sitting room a place to relax for living in personnel

This is not a typical example of FCA behaivour in the mess, if it was we'd have been barred long ago & no bagger would have associate mess memberships."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."

Blade, after reading and then translating your posts, I have come to the conclusion that you are right. The drink thing is a curse.You have obviously been around for a while and know a thing or two. Is there anything else you can offer all of us baggers advice on. I for one am so eager to learn the correct ways and habits of one who wears a black beret.
Fascinating stuff.
Regards etc

Whether or not 3* should be allowed in the bar is a matter for the course commander or his chain of command.
Depends; on mine, we weren't stopped from going but we had zero time to be there (except the hours 0300-0500 ) and in all honesty I wanted to get my head down then.
Oh Blade, feel free to bring the issue up at your mess AGM or any other regular meetings of the committee . If you're a member and have paid your sub you have that right. Thanks for sharing with us , though."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

Can the Mods pls reinstate Blade's story (Censored if necessary). Just so we know what we're talking about.
and as Far as I understand it anyone who's on full time training in a Barracks or Camp or on a course there is entitled to use the mess facilities. Subs or No subs.
I don't think RDF recruits should be allowed drink in the Mess in line with the PDF ones. But in a 7 day training period (wonder when the Last time you did 7 days without leaving the Camp/Barracks OR going to the Mess was Blade!!?!?) The 3*'s and NCO's / Officers have a right to go to the Mess and unwind!
and the Only time I've ever seen trouble or Shenanigans on Camp. It's either the PDF causing Agro, or by trting to get the Leg over a young FCA female!! They're not complaining about the RDF using the Mess as long as there's some skirt around!!

Too much time on training weekends & camps is spent in the mess anyway. A skinful never increases performance the next morning.Take these men and women for your example.

Messing is governed by its own A manual which outlines who can do what. and drink where and what membership they may have. Local standing orders by Bks I/Cs etc can of course and do take precedence."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

We don't pay subs because you (PDF) won't let us. I don't ever want to hear complaints about subs. Ever.
Recruits should not be allowed into the Mess, whether it's 3 days, 7 days or 110 days training.
If you want to integrate to the PDF then start behaving like them (or the behaviour they should aspire to).No Beast so fell that knows no pity,
No Beast am I, For I know no pity...

Isn't this a case of painting all rdf with the same brush?
On my recruit camp yes one or two little ***** were acting the maggot the first few nights yet they were dealt with. we were told if they didn't cop on no one would be allowed into the mess so naturaly everyone made sure they copped on.
As for drinking i can kind of see the point. your on camp to learn your not going to learn much when your dying of a hangover now are you?
pesonally i got well with the pdf personnel in the mess, even helped behind the bar (typical pdf boys unable to change a keg :p ) considering its where i spend my weekends.

I think army messes should be closed to everyone except for special occaisions. No shortage of pubs in this country.
And if you're somewhere like the Glen or Kilbride you're there, ostensibly at least, for a reason. And officially at least, that reason should not be to get trashed.
I still live in my dream world where people care..........Take these men and women for your example.
