I'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.

and every so often we'd be bussed to the local army base for shooting and assault course days.
Once, we were given a 'treasure hunt' style activity to find loads of markers then return to yomp round the assault course. Trouble was, i didn't have a watch, so i didn't return on time, resulting in a major security alert as a whole bunch of soldiers were mobilised to find a confused teenager in ill-fitting combat gear wandering around their tanks and field-guns.
