Regiment 9th/12th Lancers
Year 2006
Transcription 76 REGIMENTAL JOURNAL OF THE 9TH/12TH ROYAL LANCERS (PRINCE OF WALES’S)
focussed on the drips (complaints) and whinges of the challeng-
ing customers here on site. After sandy bottoms (end ofdrink) it
also included walking the parish and decks (floors) locating the
heads (toilets), tea boat (tea and coffee making facility) and galley
(cookhonse) and other important facilities. I was also informed
that all personnel were under the Naval Discipline Act and as
the EXO would have to conduct, Captain’ s Tables (CO’s Orders),
Rounds (Block inspections), Ship’s Investigations (Boards of
Enquiry), Defaulters (normally when jack’s have been adrifi (absent)
and Requestmen (interviews concerning changes in conditions of
service). This visit was an ideal opportunity to sort out my
admin, go to the Ward Room (Officers’Mess) and get my cabin
(roorn) sorted. My overnight stay introduced me to the scran
(food) and toofers (drinks two for the price of one). At the end of a
busy day and a run a shore (trip into town) I was completely
threaders (tired).
I now feel I am able to add Jackspeak to my colloquial German,
and I now feel confident enough to learn Crab. Sadly, there are
no language bonuses for these additional skills, but I certainly
feel I can act as an interpreter should the situation arise. Should
you find yourself in a tri-service environment without an inter-
preter, I enclose the following chart for assistance:
