This week on The Muster Point Podcast, Stu and Steve honour the anniversary of D-Day with a squaddie-style salute to life in the block, where banter is brutal, biscuits are currency, and your locker inspection could make or break you.

We’re joined by Sleachy, veteran, storyteller, and professional mischief-maker, for tales of barrack room antics, D-Day reflections, and all the glorious chaos that comes from living 12 lads deep with one working kettle and a shared sense of humour. From toilet paper theft to late-night life lessons, this one’s a proper nod to the muckers we lived with, laughed with, and lost.

In This Military Podcast Episode:

• What life in the block really looked like

• D-Day: stories of courage and chaos from past to present

• Why military friendships hit different—and last longer than most marriages

• The most legendary block-based banter you’ve ever heard

• Bravo Zulu shoutout to salutemyjob.com – helping veterans smash civvy street

Whether you served in Normandy or Tidworth, you’ll relate to the madness. Subscribe, rate, and share with your old muckers. They’ll know exactly which curtain-dodging, shower-dodging, kit-thieving gremlin we’re talking about.
