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.

A wake up call2AM in NW Germany, another shitty freezing guard duty. Colleague coming off stag ever-so-slightly knackered, points SA80 at unloading bay, observed by equally knackered full screw ( corporal, two stripes ). Neither of them notices live round in chamber before daft sod lets the working parts forward. Cue rudest/loudest awakening for stag ever, Quartermaster shouting "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" down phone to the missus before running outside to see two now very awake and alert berks and one smoking gun. He got a week in nick for that one. I've got more...
