How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

three levels of cleanI'll never forget being told these words on day one in the army - there's three levels of clean - clean, fucking clean and army clean! RSMs inspections go to a level that would make Kim and Aggie look like two German birds who foul themselves and then rub it into each other whilst saying "mmm ecoli and skat, mmmmm" Anyone who's been in will have seen "Show Parades" when kit doesn't come up to scratch. Once in basic training our room was deemed to be the most disgusting, shite infested cess pit it had ever been the Sargent Majors displeasure to inspect. We had to carry everything from our 8 man room down to the guard room and lay it out inch perfect, outside, onthe road, in the rain. We took it, beds, lockers, tables, chairs, fire extinguishers the lot laid out in perfect order, it's probably the most sureal sight ever.
BTW the disgusting filth was ....... dust on the surface of the water in the fire buckets! oh yeah!!

LOLI know exactly what you mean.
Not quite as bad, but after spending hours sorting out a billet after a rather messy muddy excercise, we were feeling smug as all was gleaming.
Then came the bollocking after RSM found a half sheet of toilet paper clinging to the back underside of the loo :(

Kid brother's got the tshirtHe was going through basic at Arborfield and the RSM found they hadn't polished the underside of the bed feet, the bits in contact with the floor.
Then there was the kid who got a regimental scrubbing for twice having a button with a loose thread.
*Regimental scrubbing involves a hose, a time of Vim and 2 yard brooms.
