“Trevorisms”

Back in my unit in NS (a time I reminisce pretty regularly as the “best me there was”) we used to have an officer called Trevor. He was pretty cute in the blur-ish way, and ORDed earlier than anyone else we knew upon being drafted to that unit.

He used to say some pretty odd things which I termed as “Trevorisms” and had written on the back of my notebook.

Just treat it like some… heated laser shit.

-When talking about the SOG Knife

Turn-about. [thinks] About… turn?

-When getting us to march to the cookhouse

Laps & Joints. [mutters to himself] Lap-joints…

– When giving a training seminar

4-coils! Similar to a single coil, but 4

-When talking about concertina wire

You could lose your life, or even worse, your leg- wait they’re equally bad

– When talking about safety

If not enough, you all serve the consequences.

– Ditto

Concertina wire helps you not get your gloves caught on the wire.

– Concertina wire again.

…the smaller of the variety one

– Comparing… sizes.

Your national-day-long national day holiday.

– Before the holiday

Not like the old days when you crushed your fingers to OOC (out-of-course)

– When giving a pep talk

You need the staircase to go in or… you just fall in.

– When talking about entering the operations trench

Bless his heart.
