Side gig in the 1980s Navy

After coming back from about three years at sea to a shore base gave me a LOT of time off duty. The Watson Bay Pub lost its sheen after a few days emptying my wallet. I got a security job for Friday night's weekend to make it a bit more productive. I brought a very nice BMW K100 for cash a few months later.

Trivia one Called up by the security company asking me to cover a Jewlery show. I turned up and was given a loaded revolver. I was 18. I had done firearms training with SLRs and torpedoes I felt it was possibly a bit of a stretch with No Civilian Firearms licenses and said so. They reassured me it was ok
Trivia 2 Locked and load I was put upstairs in a jewelry shop with the show downstairs. The Models came upstairs to change the jewelry and the clothes they changed.NO FIREARMS where discharged and my 18 year old eyes may have looked a bit surprised by both the revolver and the models who clearly were not bothered getting changed with me in the room with them.

''NO FIREARMS where discharged and my 18 year old eyes may have looked a bit surprised by both the revolver and the models who clearly were not bothered getting changed with me in the room with them.''

no surprises to get 'discharged' and 'models getting changed' into the one sentence

isn't it amazing how the brain works
