My wife recorded this series for me saying that I would probably like it after serving in the army for 8 years.2 years boys and 6 regular.1959 -1968.I did enjoy it although like 'WOEFUL' there were a lot of errors.You got all sorts of people with you some good some bad.What made me laugh was the lad who could not co-ordinate his marching timing right.We had a few like that,but the thing they did miss out was the violence.If you made mistakes and caused the troop to do extra duties or square bashing,it was not uncommon to get a beating up in the middle of the night to get you to toe the line.And the NCOs and officers were not all nice and forgiving.The language was choice and roared at you at the highest a voice could get usually about 6 inches from your ear.The two most glaring errors were the lads saluting with no caps on this was definitely no no,and the lad carrying the union flag upside down.He would probably still be running round the square today.Even after this little rant I did enjoy it and it brought back happy memories.Well done
