The Sergeants Mess is renowned for the respect and hospitality
shown to Officers of all seniorities. All Officers should follow
these simple guidelines regarding attendance and behaviour in
the Mess:
1. Never attend unless personally
invited.
(This applies especially to St Patrick's Day).
2. Do not outstay your welcome.
If in doubt as to how long you are expected to stay,
verify this before you arrive.
3. Never discuss, and avoid
being drawn towards, controversial subjects, particularly religion
and the abilities and shortcomings of other officers, Warrant
Officers and Non Commissioned Officers.
4. Do not use bad language.
5. Immediately on entering the
Sergeants Mess, Officers are to remove their headdress, even
during an inspection.
6. On departing the Sergeants
Mess, thank the Regimental Sergeant Major if present, or the
Senior Warrant Officer.
