Buster... I like that one. <g>
Our squadron tradition was that you hung a 360 day calender (bought in the
local book shop!) on your locker and blacked out each day as it passed. 1096
days on that squadron!!!
Quote: "Roll on Death - Demob is too far away!"
The W.O. would make you take it down for inspection, and then you hung it back
up as soon as he'd gone!
You didn't mess with tradition!
