Where is the strangest place you have slept?'lardaholics anonymous' was bored and started a new question over in the old question, so the least we can do is make it official. What with New Year's celebrations coming up, asking for the strangest place you have slept is nicely appropriate too.
In case you are wondering, Portsmouth beach in the fog. Very strange waking up to that.

As a cadetI was lucky enough to be part of a group who were sent on a ride in a Chinook chopper for a quick buzz around where ever we were at the time.
Having spent the entire of the night previous in a ditch or on overwatch I was absolutely knackered and promptly fell asleep.
Unfortunately for me, the rear crew decided to play a little joke on me, hooked me up and stood me infront of the wide open rear doors.
The pilot started doing some fancy low level stuff and, with me passed out hanging from my tether, the crew came over the comms directly into my right ear.
Try to imagine waking up and seeing only land and sky rotating at very strange angles, the wind rushing through your DPMs and the crew screaming
"Holy shit, how the fuck did he fall out the back?" repeatedly.
It took me exactly 3 seconds to get from the LZ to the bar, and about 4 hours to stop shaking.
Bastard flyboys.
