In this episode of The Muster Point Podcast, Stu and Steve take a no-holds-barred march through the weird, wonderful, and downright mental traditions of British military life.
From sailors crossing the equator dressed as sea monsters, to tankies turning APCs into pirate ships, and Fusiliers biting bums as a rite of passage—this episode proves that discipline and dignity don’t always go hand-in-hand.
Expect: ✅ The truth behind regimental quirks and parade ground rituals ✅ Why tank crews wear black (and sometimes centre their berets like loons) ✅ The sticky horror of mixing beer and chocolate ✅ The story behind those salmon trousers and a very regrettable piercing ✅ What even the King must do when faced with a Victoria Cross holder
Plus: ✅ Voice notes from listeners on their favourite (and most disturbing) unit traditions ✅ Muckers Remembered – Honouring Lee Scott ✅ Bravo Zulu – Shoutout to Scotty’s Little Soldiers and Nikki Scott’s incredible legacy
Whether you served, suffered, or just enjoy stories of grown men pretending a tank is a pirate ship, this one’s for you.
