Being a grass in a boys boarding school in the 60s-70s was like being a grass in a prison. deffo not worth it!
The teachies had to work hard to get to the bottom of it. I wasn't in the lesson when it happened, I came to the shed later. The woody teacher knew which kids were on which benches so that was the point they used to pry it all open. Some drastic threats were used. Maybe I should have put it in the vice and hit it myself!:rolleyes:

Didn't do the range deceleration truthfully then.

Being an ATC range in the sports hall, everything was very low key and the brass was usually picked up and handed in after each shoot. Dunno how he got away with it or if he didn't simply see one lying on the floor, pick it up pocket it then start thinking what to do about it during his wood work lesson.
I've only done the declaration when at Pilning Down ranges with the TAVR, that's where my squadron shot SLR, SMG and GPMG. For an ATC we were very lucky! We got to shoot stuff most didn't. Teachers at the school had been in all the services and kept up connections. Even with the navy.;)

If that is what you were firing then you would and have to show clear ammo pouches

We were shooting so few rounds we weren't even given pouches. We had rounds counted out to us and they supervised the loading of the mags. For the SMG we each had to put a beret on the ground and they put the rounds in them. For the GPMG we were just given the belts ready made up. We were properly looked after.
The TAVR blokes who were on the shoot at the same time got pouches.
