what is missing to investigate

here what these folk should be investigating,

1, the drinking culture was like going clubing every night folk totally steaming and fucked all the time cause in the camp after 5pm everyone can go drinking down in the camp bar/nafia disco place and from friday at 5pm till 8aam monday recruits can do what they want go in and out of camp go home ect most couldnt afford to go anywhere so were stuck in the hell all weekend.

2, gambling in the camp lots of recruits were hooked on the fruit machines in the nafia bar on camp were they would spend all there money in the fruit machines and were always skint they would buy tvs or clothes on pay day then all these goods would be sold cheap before the end of the month cause they were paid pennies each month and spent it all gambling and drinking everyday.

3, folk that were commiting sucide i heard when i was there were all being thrown out after continual failing there courses and car driving training which is essenital to your next step which could just be hearsay i have no prove but the army will have a record for everyone, you had to do your car licence at deepcut and you only got so many chances to pass before you were thown out.

4 the time recruits were in deepcut your only supposed to be in deepcut for couple months to do courses and move to your next step or your regiment lots were held for months and months , i was actually there for a year due to a eye injury but i went home as much as i could at tghe weekend to stay away from the idiots that run about like idiots in the place, i know alot of folk that were going awol, depressed and fed up after being missed or being held back for failing stuff and they couldnt get out

5, you talk about money in this podcast the recruits are on less than what would be min wage now at the time, when your going drining every night and going out on the near by towns every weekend the wages didnt last long there was also folk flogging clothes ect to recruites when they get paid at end of month,

6, alot of folk have attempted sucide in deep cut never mind the deaths and pirbright you will prob find it hard to find out but think it would be very high alot more than the army will let you know,

7, bullies and the weakest recruits cause they are the target off most of the abuse and bullies , if you get everyone else in trouble the NCOs would let everyone know whos fault it is and tell you to give who ever it was some encouragment training (kick in )

8, the females accommodation had to be guarded at night by armed guard with pick axe handles the was always men in the blocks even though they werent supposed to be

many training camps in the british forces are the same its just that deepcut but deepcut is prob the worse or the worse cause anyone can get into the RLC its like the place all the rejects go when they dont have any options, its no exsaggeration when is say its a holding pen for animals , fights every days, sexual assults , bullying, exstortion,drugs,drink , deaths everything you can think of happened inside that camp but the army covered most of it up and they have changed alot of the rules so everything is kept in house so its all dealt internally unless it gets out and serious,

instead of making this podcast sound like some sort of murder mystery research everything about the place , its heartbreaking that so many folk commit suicide and feel there is no one to help them or anyway out of there situation, the army is not the best place for help at the time am sure its far better now cause it takes situations like all these deaths to create change and awarness,
