Personally I hated every day I was there. I was never a bad or disruptive pupil, I never wagged off. It’s just when I was there I didn’t enjoy it and couldn’t be bothered. What about the other 606ers?
Indifferent to it, other than the fact I didnt have a care in the world. Which, in hindsight, I didnt appreciate at the time.
Hated it, but we were scared of being disciplined or being sent to the staff room. I work in schools now on the PFI, FM side and the amount of vandalism and bad behaviour is beyond comprehension. I would hate to be a teacher today
Hated every day, Think that was because our teachers really didn't give a s hit about the pupils they were supposed to be teaching...shame really, I should have risen above that and got my head down and studied... wish I could go back now because in hindsight my life would have a completely different look
Didn't enjoy it. Mind, now I look back and wish I'd known how mint it was in terms of not actually having to do much , getting loads of holidays, finishing at half 3, being in classes with all your mates and stuff. Now that I'm working I think how class school would be in comparison (other than the lack of money to spend on things you want). I'd love to go back to when I was about 14/15, loads of us playing football till all hours, very few stresses, all in good health knowing we had the world stretching out before us. Didn't feel that good at the time but **** me I'd take it now
i prefer being smuggled in to the WRAC training school on an evening, i remember after a night out with a group of paras and wracs we went back to their place had a midnight skinny dip in the open air pool , then were spotted by the guard led by a braun hilda russian shot putter sized lady who chased us, the tasty lady i was with led me to a window she went in first, i followed it was a top part opening outward small window with a point rest for the anti wind blow out arm to lock on . Anyway i was all but in only from my knees left when that big lass grabbed me ankles, if caught it would have been a charge and loss of rank for me. well i was kicking the, girl i was with was trying to pull me in, my balls were caught on the point and did narf hurt but in the end we succeeded, we ran up and down so our pursuers did not know what level or room we were on, then it was a lovely night of lamour. 8 years later i was reading a men's information magazine, on the female form and there she was, center page in all her glory, i carved a nock in my rifle but for her .
Not for me. Wasnt into hanging round with the 'cool' kids out of school. Have said previously, if I hadn't been good at footy and other sports I probably would have been bullied.
when i left school i want to a junior leaders regiment based at dover, where you were taught to a very high level , which included gcse plus combat engineering , trained to officer standard
I didn’t particularly mind school even when we moved half way through the second year and minor bullying started. It was the homework side of it I detested, I was forever on report for not doing it or a bit detention. I only done it a handful of times and never caught up with it. I still don’t think kids should be going home to do it.
One of my uncles was RSM at Folkestone late 1980s. Eventually left the army as a major. Unlike me who reached the dizzy heights of lance corporal!
Much the same but my early years in the seniors I was a canny footballer got worse as I got older but never enjoyed school
Loved it. I was in most school sports teams. Football, cricket, rugby, athletics and cross country. Left with a couple of o levels and CSEs and in hindsight I should and could of done better. Joined the army in 1985 at 10 st 8 lbs and now a fatty 16 and a half stone.
