Sounds familiar.I was marched off the parade ground for 'dumb insolence' straight to the Guardroom Cells. Spent one night and learnt to clean the heads with a tooth brush. Also to paint all the bricks white. Then full kit muster every 4 hours, never satisfactory. Finally an extra dill in full fighting order on the mad acre. (Parade Ground)
All an interesting experience with several former WW2 Cdos NCOs' as instructors. Very hard but very fair and not bullies.
