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.

It's not just the ArmySome genius RAF aircrew bloke once decided to give the local schoolkids a treat by loading the airbrake bay of his aircraft full of sweeties, flying over the school, opening the airbrakes and dropping the sweets for all the children. Problem was, dropping boiled sweets from 15 tons of F4 Phantom flying at 200 knots had a sort of 'strafing' effect and caused quite a lot of damage to the building. The Div.
