This MP then started to check every single tool for the crowsfoot mark (Means MOD property) in the hopes of a bust, what a prick.

    Then there was the time a shithead Airforce copper pulled another friend of mine over and was a cheeky cunt, he demanded to see his pilots licence for driving so fast my friend then asked "Do you want my fixed wing or my rotary licence? Get your boss and you fucking call me sir!" Fucking lol.

When I became an Officer things were much more laid back obviously, but as enlisted I barely had time to take a shit let alone iron my uniform during basic.
    You sent your kit to the laundry? Damn, we had to scrub ours by hand with a brush, dry it in a shitty drying room (no dryers) then iron it next day for inspection, almost all kit to be ironed to the same size as an A4 sheet of paper.

    I went through OCS, not boot camp, but I think most of the principles outside of academics are the same (that and sergeant instructors are much scarier than drill sergeants imo because they have years of experience at terrifying people). The number one thing is probably to be loud and be fast at everything, and when you're done help your buddies out. Consistency with regards to teamwork will get you noticed in a good way, even if they can't openly compliment you. Keep your cool when you are getting lit up. Remember that they are just doing their job even if you hate them for it; they are typically awesome guys out of the uniform. Knowing that I would outrank them once commissioned also helped me a lot mentally, but you won't have that luxury as an enlisted Marine, so my condolences.

    The tea set also looks aged, maybe it's a family heirloom, or part of the standard British Army tea sets they give to every battalion.

    hahaha, could have fooled me! Fuck do I know, I need glasses. I am surprised by the lack of slat armor inside the cab. Not very C2'ish. That teapot looks expensive, it needs like 3 or 4 layers of slat around it to be sure.

    Good luck, make sure you have the common decency to do a reach around.

    We used to troll you yanks by pilling up with steaming mugs of tea and laughed as you froze, it was cruel but we took what fun we could.

    Best advice?
    Use a soft wet cloth to help prevent itching from wiping after bowel movements.
