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.

My Great Grandad was in WWIHe got shot in the head at 18 and proceeded to get discharged with a metal plate in his head!
He was told he would only have 5 years to live and was offered a one off compensation payment or a stonkin pension for every year of his life.
He chose the pension, and proceeded to live well into his 90's. Ha! :)
