The final physical fitness tests show significant improvement, even for Will 'Ten bellies' Moynihan and malingerer John Kyprianou; the last is still being deliberated, but the staff decides proper marching will do as physical performance, making the questions give-aways even he can answer is hard work for the staff. After a last night in the naffie, boyish party games like snorting beer (?), mooning, streaking and slapping of bare buttocks in a sheet draped as 'toga', but no decent preparation for their last inspection, so that is a disaster threatening their parade the last day. Stilianos Xidakis (boisterous student, 18) is known to have hidden the captain's bike, but refuses to confess, even during hours of exemplary beasting, impressing enough to be released. The evening before pass-out, captain Dodds gives a speech about the use of disciplined qualities after return in civilian life. Their last wake-up is the world upside down: stay in, breakfast in bed with 'gunfire' (tea spiked with rum). Finally the parade for family and friends, waiting for their return after a month. Matthew Gilks seizes the occasion to propose to his girl Lisa. Five lads sign up for real as recruits in the modern British Army. Written by KGF Vissers See less
