I went back to '49/50 + Reserve time as a NS scribe - Guz rating of course - Blue lines 9/- for 200, but tickler popular to smuggle out of Jagos under the matelots' bell bottoms. Pay - 4/- per diem as an OD 6/6, plus KUA as Able rate, Admiral of the Fleet 180/- . The Aussie able Rates were getting the same daily pay as our Lieutenants.

My No. DMX 867830 D -Guz of course M -Miscellaneous and X - joined after 1925! In the SCO in Jagos we discharged a Chief Shipwright to Shore, who had joined barracks early in 1939 and we discharged him - he had not left barracks since that time! Must have had friends in the Drafting Office.
Whenever we were picked up by the belt and gaiter brigade - Gash POs or Chiefs they were trying to find jobs for, for some misdemeanour eg caps flat aback or hands in pockets, we were asked our rating - answer Writer, next question - 'Place of duty?' the answer we gave was always the same, a truculent - 'Drafting Office. why?' - answer -'Carry on!'
