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.

final ex storyand finally, my ex told me that his friends in the OTC [officer training corps] were called joe brown, stuart dick and mike bigg. meaning that, when roll call was done alphabetically, the sergeant had to call out:
BIGG
BROWN
DICK
thereby causing them all to crease up laughing, earning themselves at least an extra 100 push ups a week.
you couldn't make this stuff up!
edit - actually, maybe he did...
