Guess that will be the end of that game.

For 6 months?

Surprised they didn't light a fire to keep him warm. :YMAPPLAUSE:

It is not clear whether the lieutenant can expect any kind of punishment.
Hardly likely I would have thought. When Cranwell came and played rugby at Dartmouth during my time there we shaved off half of any of their moustaches and turned the fire hoses on the RAF team late one night. They shared our accommodation at Hawke Division, well away from the main College buildings.

The Commander was walking his dog, heard the commotion and popped his head round the door into the dormitory. He told us to keep the noise down and make sure any mess was cleared up. That was the end of the matter - no recriminations. Next day it was discovered that the large white statue of Britannia on the parade ground had a RAF roundel painted on each breast. :YMAPPLAUSE:

The rebuilding of the chimney will.probably go on mess (ward room) bills. He is going to be known as Santa after this.

I guess it wasn't his turn in the barrel?

What's the naval equivalent of "tea and no biscuits"?

Dunno what C16 thinks but doubt if there will be a bollocking. If I was his boss I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face.

All together now;

When santa got stuck the chimney he began to shout
"You girls and boys won't get any toys
If you don't pull me out
My beard is black
There's soot in my sack
My nose is tickling too!"
When santa got stuck up the chimney
A-choo, a-choo, a-choo!

It's good to see that there's still a spark of life left in them! :YMAPPLAUSE:

This is small beer compared to what the 'stovies' got up to back in the day - ashore and afloat - usually involving burning drinks, explosives and violent mess games leading to broken limbs... From various sources I heard that the RAF fast jet boys got up to much the same.

I hope this guy doesn't get more than a reasonable stoppage of wine bill and a bollocking from the medical officer for being overweight!

Personally I think a disciplinary clean sweep would do the trick.
