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.
Years ago on Salisbury plain the Gurkha's were sent out at night Tank hunting.

Our Squadron was their target. I was woken in the middle of the night to find that they had found us, And that they had entered the tents of every tank crew and were sat with their guns pointing at us and a bloody big grin on their faces. If it was for real they would have taken out a complete tank squadron with nothing more than their SA80's

Very very good at what they do, And i for one would not like to have to fight against them in a battle.
