The base warrant officer would ambush the troops to check for dirty shoes, haircuts etc. Which was the reason I did not go to the pay parades because I thought it was demeaning but go a few days later to the accounts thiet ke web (http://bantayso.com) section. Once I forgot and the accounts section said come and pick up your pay or you will lose it. So I thought I would call their bluff and said dont worry about it then you can keep it, use it to your social club for a keg of beer. Sure enough an hour later enough my flieger staffen boss orders me down to accounts to pick up my pay. My first years salary was $1500 year most compulsory saved and $12 a fortnight paid as an allowance. I earned much more working for Dad in the tobacco. The smokers used to run out of money and smokes poor buggers. if your in west auckland the last thing you want to do is walk around with large sums of cash. i don't see any advantage of being paid cash or cheque. bank transfer is so much easier and safer.	ntcnet (17281)
