Wrong Yorkie. Pay accounts, and it depended on me whether you got cash to go out on a Friday night or you had to spend the weekend in barracks. It was a great feeling, as a humble SAC, to have SNCOs and even officers kissing your arse, because they knew that if they upset me I could seriously compromise their finances, albeit temporarily.
Classic scenario from my RAF days.
Tuesday morning, phone call from Flt Sgt i/c airmen's mess.
Him: I've got one of my guys who has run out of money and has to pay a bill tomorrow, but doesn't get paid till Thursday. He's got a young baby and his wife is worried sick.
Me: Is he on stand down on Thursday?
Him: No.
Me: He is now, for admin purposes. Send him up this afternoon and I'll fix a casual pay parade with the boss.
Him: You're a star.
Lad comes up and gets paid two days early. Later that day, on leaving the mess after tea, two prime fillet steaks are quietly slipped into my hand. Wheels within wheels!
