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.

Does Cub Scouts count?Uniform, regimental etc? Yes? Good (we'll ignore the lack of 'arms' shall we?)
I got kicked out of the 1st Hallcroft Cub Scouts pack in Retford at the age of 9.
My crime?
Refusing to recite the Cub Scouts promise while saluting the flag. It was the "To do my duty to God and to the Queen" bit that got me, being an atheist republican.
Akela gave me a slap on the legs and I told her to piss off. So they kicked me out, without so much as a by your leave.
Oooh my old man was not happy as I'd only managed to get my cooking badge.
