Officer's Mess
British military
On a British military base, there are usually three messes: the Officers' Mess, for commissioned officers, the Sergeants' Mess, for senior non-commissioned officers (SNCOs) and warrant officers (WOs), and the Junior Ranks' Mess (JRM), for junior ranks. Officers and senior NCOs usually live (if they are unmarried and do not want to live off base), eat and socialise in their messes, whereas junior ranks usually just eat there, being accommodated in barrack blocks and socialising in the NAAFI.
There are various customs associated with the messes. When a senior officer is visiting an officers' mess, they will leave their hat on the table in the foyer to give fair warning of their presence. In the JRM it is customary for personnel to hide their badges of rank, thus everyone becomes the same level. Headdresses are removed upon entering a mess (soldiers without headdress are out of uniform, and soldiers out of uniform cannot salute.) The typical tradition is that any wearing a headdress inside the mess must buy a round of drinks.
All soldiers belong to a mess, which is typically located near the unit's HQ. Messes have dues (monthly or yearly, depending upon the mess,) and are non-profit. This allows the messes to often have substantially lower prices when compared with civilian bars. A soldier is welcome in any mess equivalent to his rank, as long as he is paying dues in at least one mess. Any soldier of a different rank (excluding the unit's commanding officer, the duty officer, duty NCO and military police) must ask permission to enter the mess. No discipline can arise for not allowing someone of higher rank into a mess, or not doing so in a timely manner. One is often required to buy a round to be allowed entry into a mess. The main exceptions are for the duty officer and duty NCO, who are required to keep order in the mess.

Σ' ευχαριστώ πολύ, Βασίλη. Σε πολλά μέρη είναι λίγο ξεκάρφωτες οι Λέσχες, όπως και στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Σχετικά κοντά μεν στο παλιό Γ' Σώμα Στρατού αλλά πάντως έξω από το χώρο του.//Πάντως φαντάζομαι ότι η 134 ΣΜ στη Σαντορίνη, θα πρέπει να έχει τη λέσχη μέσα

: Τι μας νοιάζει πως λάγεται στο Ε.Β. Πάψαμε να είμαστε κάτω απ' την επιρροή του το 1949. Έκτοτε οι Ε.Δ. εξοπλιστικά και εκπαιδευτικά βρίσκονται κάτω απ' την επιρροή της μεγάλης συμμάχου μας.// Και λίγο θάναι// Aσφαλώς, είναι μέλη της Κοινοπολιτείας.:))

Κι αφού υπάρχει ο όρος, να τον πνίξουμε σαν γατί στο νεροχύτη λόγω συμμαχιών;//Nα πνίξουμε και τον Καναδά και την Αυστραλία που επίσης χρησιμοποιούν τον όρο. Για την Ινδία δεν σου λέω γιατί ξέρω τι θα πεις.:-))

: Αν και όπως λέει και ο Βασίλης, κανονικά είναι η Τραπεζαρία Αξιωματικών σε μία μονάδα... γιατί λέσχη αξιωματικών εγώ καταλαβαίνω κάτι σαν την ΛΑΕΔ και ότι αντίστοιχο υπάρχει ανά την Ελλάδα για τις Ε.Δ.

Σε πολλές μονάδες, η Λέσχη Αξιωματικών είναι αυτό ακριβώς που λες και μέσα στο χώρο της μονάδας. Μιλώ ακόμη και για πολύ μεγάλες μονάδες.
