Regiment 9th/12th Lancers
Year 1987
Transcription As far as the actual notes go; Well,
Cpl Jonah Jones has posted himself
to the 01°er Mess (UNFICYP), any
excuse to get to Cyprus! The role of
postie was taken up by Cpl Ben
Franklin, who is returning shortly to
civvy street, so anyone who wants to
take over the black and white cat, one
pace forward.
Cpl Brad Bradbury and LCpl Zub
Zubrzycki both made a last ditch effort
to gain some extra LOA by becoming
proud fathers of a sen and daughter
respectively —— congratulations lads,
{Shame you Only got a month’s worth
of the LOA though!)
Big Brother (PAMPAS) is about to
gain the means of talking to it's big
brother in our Regimental Pay Office
at Chester, thanks to the impending
installation of an autodial (MODEM)
system. No more having to wait until
a supplementary pay statement comes
for the food and accommodation
refunds!
As far as the “front line" goes, we
are now able to do our own discharges;
thereby saving you a trip to Bovington.
It has also been rumoured that we may
get a stationery drop sometime around
Christmas!
A fresh batch of rumours come in
from rumour control. Here’s some of
the better ones...... Cpl Mark Welch
and LCpl Phil Beckley may be mOving
into Married Quarters and doing more
shopping in the pads NAAFI in the
near future. Cpl Mac Mackin may be
taking over the tenancy of a local
corner shop. Chief Mick Taylor is
definitely giving up the cigars after
his next packet. Cpl Neil Cunningham
is about to....... “Oh, where‘s he gone,
anyone seen him? ”
By the way the RHQ cleaner is out
of a job as Lt Tim Hercock‘s dog
Rumbpold does a fine job of emptying
any bin within range. Mind you we
turned down the fiver we were offered
for him (the dog!) by the Golden
Dragon........ “no wonder it‘s out of
bounds."
