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.

Only did 9 weeks of basic before deciding its not for meOne of the funniest things i remember about it was on our first ever exercise.
It was only a one night thing just outside the camp to get us used to doing stag.
Out of the 3 section CPLS were 2 were para trained and ours was commando (I was joining the sappers)
They all banged on about how were were crap hats and our CPL was in his words "A switched on commando warrior diving legend"
Anyhow CPL Clarks showing us how to make a perimeter for the area with para cord and after he tied some round a tree he steps back and trips over a log and goes arse over tit.
Being all made to crawl around the perimeter on our belt buckle was worth pissing ourselves for.
