i have not lived in barracks any where but Base Toronto. it was a mass relax base. Former Airforce base and then an Army Base.
so here is my question for those who live barracks on various posts around Canada.
did or do your barracks have beer vending machines like the JR ranks base at Toronto had?
I remember coming back for a parade with the home unit and finding out guys who lived on Base Petawawa were busted for having beer in their room and had to do extras. i laughed when i heard they were busted i thought it was funny, i thought all bases had them.
beer vending machines were like pop machines, but had cold cans of beer in them. the barraks I was had the machine in the common room across from my room. beer was like $1.75 a can,or 2 bucks ( i cannot remember not a beer drinker ) the other vending machine i remember that sold beer was in the JR ranks club, incase bar was closed, the bar was not always open due to lack of clients some nights. pizza deliivery guys use to hit the machine hard on stat holidays and late nights for beer. the odd morning you would hear beer cans falling for a quick hangover cure. or breakfast of champs,.
i had a well stocked bar in my room, always a few bottles in the cupboard but never out in the open.
they use to borrow a bowling ball or two from base bowling alley and bowl for beers in the hallways during some parties in barracks.
base toronto JR racks barrack parties were always lound, fun and no one got hurt , got a few extras or called up in front of the HQ RSM on A Monday Morning to explain things but never any thing serious
so what are the rules for drinking in the shacks on other bases? unit barracks? base rules?
allowed ? not allowed?
just curious to see the different rules for a Combat arms base compared to base Toronto now that it is gone.
thanks in advance
