I had been told to stay with him around the Course and on the run back to CTC. He was a lovely man and did well earning a well deserved Green Beret. On the Tarzan Course he had missed the turn point and was disappearing into the canopy. Cpl Healey (PTI) shouted, “ Oi, where do you think you’re going, Heaven? “ The Padres’ voice came floating back, “ I hope so Corporal, I sincerely hope so!” On one occasion we had run the Squad through the Endurance Course on Saturday morning, on conclusion I told him that he had the rest of the weekend off, he looked at me and said, “ Not for me Corporal Prichard, I have to turn to on a Sunday. “ We had a good laugh and I said, “ You work a seven day week then Sir. “
