This was late afternoon and we were told that we would be 'off duty' for the rest of the day. (No one refused the jab. :lol:) Next morning, sore arms or not, we were woken up at 5.30am as usual. Our 'alarm clock' was our sergeant with a pick-axe handle who marched round the barrack room smacking it down hard on the iron bed rail, about a foot from your head. Rifle drill with a sore arm was character building! Then, several months later, if you were posted abroad then another several jabs! :D
There is literally zero chance of me getting 6 jabs in one go.
Me too. :o

No, you would have had them. You would have been put on a 'punishment day' which was a combination of physical and psychological stress. By mid-afternoon you would have been pleading for the jabs. However much you disagree with the principle of a 'punishment day' - it worked. I know, I saw it in progress. Not me, I should add. I was an honest and reliable soldier. :D

If it’s a choice of 6 jabs, or punishment day, the latter wins every time for me Sir John.
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

I've changed my mind about this.

Yes I would have the 6 jabs, however the first one would need to be an anaesthetic. :D

Have you noticed? Winnie the Pooh and Alexander the Great have the same second name.
