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 wonderful world of sleep deprivationLying in a forest.... middle of the night..... my stint on stag..... partner falling asleep..... look thru night vision....
I swear to this day that the bush 50m in front of me had a knife.
Same exercise, we had one guy challenge a sheep that he thought was trying to infiltrate our site......
being welsh myself, I didn't realise that the welsh regiments had become so technically advanced!!
Same exercise again, the guy in charge of our site went a bit loopy (hanging out of his arse). One of the lads put him in teh cabin of the 4 tonner and told him to get some sleep.
Cue the SNCO 20min later wandering around the cam netting looking for his fags and helmet.
the fags we found in the helmet, in the front of the wagon he'd been sleeping in. He was proper fucked.
