Subject: RE: BS: Army Discipline - UK
In my old unit in Germany, our RSM used to come in drunk on a regular basis every Sunday. He used to march himself into the guardroom and put himself in a cell (after removing his boots and belt - which were then polished by the guard). Monday morning he would appear in front of himself on diciplinary charges, fine himself £25, then carry on with his duties. He may appear to have been as daft as a brush, but he never left himself open to criticism or maybe even blackmail by any others. An old soldier to the core. (and a very fair bloke too)
