As a reservist who has been involved with the JRC mess committee a few times I was wondering what other messes do to promote retention and a good mess atmosphere through regimental tradition.
I know some JR messes where you have to come to attention before entering and others who sip their regimental drink through a hole in a german helmet. Others drink out of the boots of the member who has come last on a 13km ruckmarch while other units use their bell to announce they have given a donation to a unit pre-authorized charity.
I was just curious to hear some other bizarre and/or interesting regimental mess traditions.
