MM> As a very green 2nd Lt, my first run at being Orderly Officer
 MM> of the day out at Papakura (Auckland City's major training
 MM> camp) saw me taking the tour with the Camp RSM.  This worthy
 MM> `owned' the premises fiercely, schooled his budding OO's in
 MM> how best to behave and inspect and could tell at a glance
 MM> whose dirty boots had left what depressions on which Mess
 MM> lawn and when....

 MM> We toured all the kitchens, most of the bunkhouses, all of
 MM> the utilities and endless ablution blocks.  Graffiti in those
 MM> days was virtually none-existent and foul language punished
 MM> enthusiastically.  At the zillionth ablutions, the RSM peeled
 MM> off into the latrine area leaving me to sight the showers -
 MM> and blocked off the latrine entry with his swagger stick as
 MM> we re- grouped - "Best not go in there, Sah!"

 MM> I was tired of the spotless touring, and somehow got God to
 MM> stand aside.  There on a loo door some wit had felt-nibbed...

 MM> "Dont f**k the Army - let the breed die out"

 MM> God was totally mortified.

 MM> And about 30 minutes later, a triumphant RSM led me through a
 MM> Defaulters' Parade which dealt summary justice to a stunned
 MM> infantryman with literary leanings who was marched in by an
 MM> embarrassed CSM and two stony-faced Corporals.

 MM> Probably would have impinged seriously on the lad's `Human
 MM> Rights' these days...
