Dec 7th, 8th and 9th Life
of a WAAF...
Mon Dec 7th
and Tues Dec 8th
Have never been
so tired. The reason I have been on "night bind" from midnight
to 6:30am. Slept from 8-12:30 then up for lunch. PT lectures etc. Another
hour or two sleep in evening then on watch again.
Wed Dec 9th
Still tired
but tonight is last night duty. The rest of the training at Yatesbury
was split between day and evening duties. The tiredness was agrivated
as part of our hut was occupied by cooks, some of whom got up at 4:30am
or went to bed at midnight a continued stream of WAAF either getting
up or going to bed. Christmas and New Year were marvellous for the WAAF,
we were invited to parties in all four wings- The Radio School. No.
4 Wing- the only one to have women apart from a few permanent staff.
The radio school was some distance from the main camp- so quite a march
to go on duty. I lfet Yatesbury on Jan 14th for leave before a posting
to YY wing at Liverpool and then on to Prestatyn CHL radar station.
