Roy C Horton Roy, I was in basic training at RAF Swinderby in 1978 and I had a drill instructor called Corporal Loaney. He was total Cpl Marsh! Although Cpl Marsh was never depicted as a drinker , Loaney was. We used to dread the morning ( 5.30 ) because Loaney would come into the billet with bloodshot eyes having been on the piss the night before and wreak havoc ! He had all the other character traits of Marsh . However on passing out he was a nice guy and came with us for a pint or two and yes , got pissed with us all !
My late father rose to the rank of RAF acting sergeant in the late 1940s as a national serviceman. He refused a commission as that would have increased his 'sentence' from 2 years to 3. He only accepted the senior NCO appointment specifically to have the clout to deal with 'tin pot bullies' like the drill corporals he encountered.
... 7:20 ... superman should put his himself to use at the historic hotel ... if he has such a "high regard" for an extortionist wife of a fraudster in uniform ... canberra hyatt hotel ...
Susan Adams When I joined the Australian Army (in 1965) we were all responsible for the maintenance and safekeeping of our own weapons (had to be kept secure in our bedside lockers when not in use). Once issued, the Armoury people had no further interest in them. I don't think it was only the Australian Army that did this (our ranks were full of ex British soldiers and the practice wasn't considered unusual). I don't know what the procedure is these days, but I wouldn't be surprised if things have changed. I assume you are from a modern military background - hence your surprise.
+Louis Belasco - Even if she had a contemporary military background, it would have been different from that confronting modern women in the forces. Pastel coloured uniforms, sensible shoes, cute hat, (strictly) segregated quarters (usually known as pussy pits) and no contact with those nasty, noisy gun thingies. Typing, clerical work and driving senior officers around. Methinks the lady may have simply jumped to an ill informed conclusion!
its a satire from the 1970s, not a documentary ! willing suspension of disbelief. Marsh is a larger-than-life character, but not that far removed from the screws in my days of training ( army 1982 )
Scampton was buzzing. It had the Vulcan bombers. I grew up there for a bit and loved it. They'd have tactivals whereby the camp was put on a war footing. Skelton would be more akin to somewhere like Church Fenton where little ever happened
... my father taught me about the world trade center when i was a child in the early 1980s ... these "1955" films are in reality after my grandparents had every tooth in their head pulled by invaders and my grandmother survived an attempt to kill her with an overdose of general anaesthetic under the doctor seizing people for the adult mental health unit 2600 front ... some members of my family were murdered by general anaesthetic and then the invaders frauded marriages on paper + stole our property ... i barely survive and am currently being slowly poisoned because they are seizing people with home invasions with the act front and forceably injecting us ... after a very real marriage with sex to the son of one of the biggest murder families of the war ... they invaded from new guinea - the cave of skulls - mount giluwe new guinea - because they were using a "system" of cannibalism and not allowing this and not allowing that and they had no clothes or anything good ... now we have nothing ... the only consolation is that very soon in the next decade or less the electricity grid will fail in canberra and the servers containing the fraud which is the www will go kaput ... but my trains will fail before then because the slaver social media (socialist medical) front think trains are dragons ...
To this day heating your house during winter is still a big problem for UK.
If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, paint it.
Old Corporal Marsh... fantastic!... This time "The Cokes" on him...
Superb ! Swinderby 1978 !
Beckingham 1975 :)
Nesscliffe 1975
Great show!
Coke's a lot easier to get these days lol
Curled up shivering on the sofa trying to push your bloke into going out to rob a bag of coke, times haven't changed much have they? lol
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I think this corporal an example of the N.C.O.'s and officers who have been done in by "friendly fire" in the past!
The modern RAF has a rather different coke problem...
Complains about the chair being damaged and then steals steals government property.
HA HA - Love the way they sabotaged the Coke!

I know RAF Skelton, Midham and Druids Water are fictitious names but in UK roughly where would they be located?🇦🇺
Skelton was near Stoke on Trent, and Midham was meant to sound like RAF Marham. Druidswater was meant to be Wales or the Welsh border.
They said Midham was near Blackpool.
Marsh was a major player without him the show was a no go 🙅
Marsh is a crawler.
1:15 RAF Hednesford gets a mention.
That station is gopping. Drill pigs need to go to specsavers.
"Id rather have a bag of coke".
your nose will rot ...junky lol
Funny as fuck haha know a few birds like that
Did Corporal Marsh exist in true life ? He would have been a dead man !

Swinderby 1968, the station warrant officers name was Marsh spelt b.a.s.t.a.r.d
All drill instructors in basic training were bastards, I never saw a recruit with the guts to have a go at a training NCO.

collar attached shirts came in in 1959-60. Since when did recruits take rifles into their billets

+oldigger She's a woman. What sort of military background would she be from?

I joined in November 1961, and we were issued with separate collars. Our rifles were chained in a rack at one end of the billet.
In 1965 at RAF Swinderby
I guess Skelton was based on Skampton.
Could be based on an Station in the UK.
Scampton with a C, not a bloody K!

... and they think "trains" are gang rape too ...
I did'nt like "Poof House"...he had stupid strange manner about him... acted the part well though... Marsh stole the show though in all his scenes...
