The Urinals
An odd thing to photograph but every guy who has been through GSTS will recall the task of polishing the urinals every morning till they shone brightly. The GSI's would inspect these and test their cleanness by trying to read their watch in the reflection! These were probably the cleanest toilets in the country.
These chaps are all from 'B' Dorm, who were members of 'B' Flight.

Morrie Cleaning
Wayne Jones says, "Andrew Morris using the floor polisher just before he went to bed the night before a dorm inspection. I recall that the polisher only lasted a couple of weeks before it went U/S and then it was back to Ataway and elbow grease...
Do they still make Ataway?

A few scans of the Weapons Training exercise book we were issued at GSTS. Note how grubby these got thanks to the rifle oil.
