In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed ForcesI've never been a soldier. I was an air cadet once, but that mostly involved sitting in a mouldy hut learning about aeroplane engines with the hint that one day we might go flying.
Yet, anyone who has spent time defending their nation, or at least drinking bromide-laced-tea for their nation, must have stories to tell. Tell them now.

I wasn't in the ArmyBut my Uncle was, back when he lived in India.
His job was to stamp the forms for people that had taken their driving test while in the forces to show that they had been approved. More often than not, he had to fill them out for the succesful candidates as well... so one day he just filled out an extra one for himself.
Yup. My uncle has never passed his driving test (never had a lesson in fact). He is somewhat worryingly rather proud of that. Keep off the roads near Derby, is all I'll say.
