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.

The old run-aroundOne high school friend devised a plan to keep the recruiters off his back.
He told the Army he was signing up with the Navy.
He told the Navy he was joining the Marines.
He told the Marines he was going into the Air Force.
He told the Air Force he was quite serious about the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard doesn't do much recruiting in Iowa, 1000 miles from the coast.
He said it took them about three months to compare notes and figure out he wasn't joining any of them.
