29Why it is inappropriate for an Officerto use KetchupThe Junior Cadets%u2019 Dining room was re-opened that morning after a refurbishment and, having collected my breakfast, I went to the condiments table for some tomato ketchup. As you do, I shook the bottle. The ketchup splattered all up the new flock wallpaper. Oops! My excuse was that the previous user had not put the bottle%u2019s cap on properly.Greg WhitearEarly Morning CallIt was my turn to wake up C Squadron by knocking on all the bedroom doors. I was dutifully doing this until an irate cadet appeared demanding to know why I was waking everyone up an hour early. It was 5.30am and not 6.30am. Sorry guys, an easy mistake to make when half asleep. I hope you have forgiven me by now.Greg WhitearEnd of the WorldFor some time I was billeted in Daedalus House, which was situated close to the runway. In the early hours one morning, a Vulcan must have been cleared to do a full power, low level pass over the airfield, and nearby Daedalus House. The almighty roar of the engines and shaking of the house as it went over woke me with the conviction that the world was coming to an end.
