Oh my god
I've got so many stories I'm giddy that I want to share them with you all.

(I can hear the collective sigh already)

The final school trip I can remember was a CCF trip to Cornwall - 9 hours drive FFS!

Anyhoo....

I was the giddy rank of l/c and I was a good boy most of the time, but this time we'd all sneaked booze in from somewhere and as we were all 15 or something much drinking ensued.

The idiot thing I remember doing was ripping in half a coke can and saying "Look what happens when I run my finger over this metal thing". Cue a LOT of blood and I wrote my name in blood everywhere! 20 minutes later when the blood is STILL fountaining I figure that no good will come of it.

Don't remember how I stopped the bleeding though.

The gutting thing was that when I got back, I was given a Court Martial (read Kangaroo Court) for starting a fire in one of the billets. "I was nowhere near that billet at the time, I was too busy bleeding sah" - I didn't lose my rank but no more promotions followed....

Why is it that teachers assume you're guilty even when you've proved innocence??

More stories to come including 2 german exchange trips, an "educational" trip to Amsterdam (ha ha) to name but a few....
