Now that we've been settled in Wolfenbuttel for over a year it is time yet again to put pen to paper and reflect the past year‘s activities in the Technical Stores Department. in the past year there have been various exercises to put “Tech" to the test of ‘procuring’ spares for the fleet of vehicles. None was more of a test than Ex Lionheart, with so many units on exercise. requiring the services of the Ordnance. It was a time when we called in all our past given favours and used our ingenuity to enable the LAD to repair our vehicles to a war footing, Like most Regimental departments we too are subject to inspections of stores and equipment by outside agencies. This year we managed to excel ourselves on the Ordnance Ancillary inspection. Praise is clue to those who run the various equipment accounts throughout the Regiment. The comings and goings of person- nel have been few this year. LCpl Ratcliffe was posted to Sandhurst for two years, W02 (RQMS (T)) Under- hill departed on promotion! to the Hotel on the Hill as Lt Underhlll, doing numerous jobs but mainly Motor Transport Officer, We take this op- portunity to congratulate Mick and Janet on his well earned commission and wish them all the best in the future. To replace Lt Underhill we imported W02 Fergus from A Squadron’s Sergeant-Major's Office as the new RQMS(T). (Variety is the spice of life). Also from A Squadron (could this be a take over bid) comes LCpl Bradbury who gives up his clerical trades and joins our hard working technical store- men. It is interesting to note that from March 84 until April 85 we managed to receipt and issue from Ordnance a total of 15,502 items , (who says we are mostly closed), Soon we start the new training season and are off on our first exercise of 1985. We plan to be open 24 hours a day; present and new customers are always welcome, G K J 47 |
