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.

Crazy friend's mumI had a friend when I was about eight, she was my best friend, I loved her a lot, etc. Except, she moved like a zillion times, because her mum was in the army.
The thing was, every time I went over, her mum would bitch about how awful the army was, and she'd say "Don't ever join the army, promis me, you'll hate it" and sometimes she was drunk, and I was afraid.
So, I am now scarred towards the armed forces, and I will never join, ever. No matter what.
