Quick Story:
I was the driver for the CO, [then] Maj Ivan Fenton, and MWO Steve Douglas, and was driving them around, for a Recce of a future Coy position in Wainwright. As we were driving around, we came upon this Pte, who was manning some position, or doing something...can’t remember his exact job.... Regardless, we had stopped, and Maj Fenton had ask him a question, and then he [the Maj] hopped back into the jeep – well I had just released the clutch to pull away, when Mr. Douglas told me to stop, and he swung out of the back of the jeep.
Now keep in mind that I was new to the coy, and had never been in a position to have the pleasure of the Sgt Major speaking to me directly from a distance of 2-inches from my face.... so I had never witnessed Mr. Douglas verbally berate someone. Well; bottom line – the soldier was slightly slovenly in his deportment and response, and when first spoken to by Mr. Douglas, he did come to attention, but soon (within a fraction of a second)came to a rigid position of attention and you could actually see his legs shaking as all the cockiness left him...in more ways than one.
Well my god; Mr. Douglas was in his prime that day, as the Maj and I looked on, and I am sure we were both thinking the same thing – Thank God it’s not us! Well, he jacked that young fellow up, like I’ve never seen before...and I’ve been on the receiving end of a few good beratings in my day, and I [and I’m sure Maj Fenton], looked on in amazement. It was like looking at a train wreck (for the young fellow), and we could not look away. Well, Mr. Douglas, got back into the jeep, as the Maj and I looked straight ahead, and he [Sgt Maj] told me to carry on...so I pull out the clutch, and off we go. Ten feet later, Mr. Douglas looks at us, and says – Well, do you think I scared him...then started laughing, in the great laugh he has. It was just too funny after that. However, I don’t know who that soldier was, but I’m sure he’s told that story a few times to his buddies, as it no doubt left an impression on him throughout his career, and beyond. I also took note that day...and watched my Ps and Qs, while in the service of Mr. Douglas; good lesson all around.
Cheers,
Dave

Well, one doesnt get much past the Sgt Maj.....and a dressing down was nothing more than reeducation,i liked to look at it that way.. and i know the dressing downs i received did me nothing but good.. and i think any i handed out did the same...its what makes it work like a well oiled machine.. you gotta do the " maintenance" ... hehehehheh...ranrad

Dave,
I too had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Douglas in fine form during 3 stints under his authority. You may remember M Coy barrack inspection before leaving for RV85 (he was in full flight, on tip toes pace stick in a certain Pte's face "bye the f**k....if I was a private I'd drop kick you right in the nuts!!") it was a classic. Pat Turpin & Charlie Toope could barely contain themsleves. He also had me take my airborne pt test 2 hours after the 2nd leg of 2x10.....I'm sure he enjoyed watching me running around the track on tippy toes like Fred Flintstone. Without CSMs like that being in a rifle company would be rather boring with few stories to tell 20+ years later.

I also had the pleasure of working for RSM Douglas...Ill never forget in Germany , I think the year was 1990, we had that Brigade sports day. Well they had all the RSM'S and CO'S, race against each other on the sports track. I gotta tell you half of the battalion were shocked to shit to see how fast this guy could run..needless to say from what I can remember he won.
Wonder where he is now?

Jim ; You've never looked good , just kidding , you look great for an old guy . Look at the guy you're asking about good looks . Do you think after looking at that mug every day in a mirror , he knows good looks ? " NOT ".
The only good thing that has ever happened to him which could be classed as good looking , was when he met his good looking wife , Molly .
Good looks and Aldore 
Barry
