You chaps might be amused at the little "talking to" that I and many others had at our first parade as Officer Cadets,many many years ago.It was delivered by a Sergeant instructor of the Scots Guards.I made a note of it after the parade.Anyway here it is:-"Now listen to me you benighted muckers.We're going to teach you soldiering.The world's noblest profession.When we're done with you, you'll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men."I was never too sure about the "civilized "bit.
