They were still using it in the 80s. And it was "Rule .303" in reference to the .303 service cartridge, or rule of the rifle. Kind of a significant line in the movie, and the Army Instructors didn't understand thenreference.



A mate of mine named Ted Beazley (deceased) was on parade in Germany in the '70's when a British officer wandered on by after inspection, some lout in the ranks yelled "remember the BREAKER", the Poms bitched and whinged but as luck would have it not one of the Australian officers present heard a damned thing.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
