48 Hour Pass
48 Hour Pass
After six weeks training we were given a 48 hour pass from the Friday evening until Sunday evening. I decided not to go home for this short time as we would be going home in two weeks. About six or seven of us didn’t go home and we went into Warrington for a few hours on Saturday. One of the airmen who had been made leading man in the billet wanted to be a drill instructor when he passed out and was out to make a name for himself with the permanent staff. It is indicative of the “brain washing” that we were under that he persuaded us to paint the inside of the billet before the others came back and this would help us to get the coveted shield for being the best billet. So we set to and, with the paint he acquired from somewhere, we painted the inside of the hut. This strategy worked as we won the shield the next week.
