Same in forces. Those who joined were very brave.
I was in barracks with a new recruit. Black lad very fit looking. Saw him putting his kit in his locker . And a few boxing trophies. He was knackered after travel from uk..
He apologised for being a bit rude.
2 hrs later the loical corporals (in those days)
Heard there was a new recruit..nothing to do with him being black. But thats what they did.
Came in the barracks . All the lights were off and they dragged him out of bed.
Bellam for a few seconds. One of the lads switched the lights on. Two corparals were splattered all over the floor. And george was snoring away.
He had no problems after that. 😁
