Wicked sense of humour! Two of them certainly made me laugh.

I arrived at a camp where they were on guard duty, I had been to this camp a number of times but the facility I was visiting had moved buildings. After getting over the communication problem, they offered to escort me. (the security threat level had been raised)

This was unusual because I usually get an unescorted pass on the camps, anyway I had a job to keep a straight face as one of them was struggling to get into the back of the Mondeo with his gun. It was such a comedy of errors I was hoping the gun wasn't loaded. Then at the first block the other one got out and was running in front of the car while I followed, eventually they found the building on the camp and they both started running back to the guard house.

It was the wrong building after all that.lol

You had to be there to appreciate it.
