Negligent Discharges...........

[Whitey]

We had a soldier fire one off in the arms room nce, 1999 I think. The soldier pulled the trigger on the squad leaders weapon and he the squad leader got just a reprimand, the soldier got an ass chewing.

We had a Lt transfer to our unit from the PWOR (or whatever). What a winner! Never stopped arguing wht the section commanders. Always trying to micro-manage the platoon by ignoring the pl sgt (me). The sect comds didn't realize I was letting the little bu**er dig his way right out of the regiment. One day, on ex, he picked up his SLR and "pop" - off goes a blank. "Oops", says I, "methinks you'd better toddle off and explain that one to the OC" (or words to taht effect). In the mean time, I'd had a chat with the CSM and the OC, being ex-SAS, was less than understanding about said ND. Last I saw of the Rupert he was walking out through the front gates dressed in slacks and sports coat with a rather small suitcase. Gotta love it when a plan comes together!

seriously though. in cadets we had a ND and boy did she get it. Never seen the OC so angry.

Back in the days of Nod and after a morning of ballbagging section attacks (Blank) my oppo's and myself were lined out to be cleared. Nothing new there then, except that at the end of the previous exercise we had been lined out and told fire off any remaining rounds on automatic (a couple of mags worth). So on the usual command of "UNLOAD" I reached for my mag only to hear "prrprprprprprpr!" sound off from down the line.

It had turned out that one of the lads, hanging out his hoop and in a world of his own had his own special interpretation of the command "UNLOAD" and had flicked on to automatic and done so Isreali fashion.

He got into a little bit of trouble and of course did not get any stick from his oppo's.....

Aye, Plums

Whilst on a 48 hr exercise on LONGMOOR COMMON (during basic training) we were patrolling back to our harbour area. Luckily enough there were no D.S. present at that time.

Scouse D*&%$$G fingered the trigger of the L.M.G. and loosed off about 3-5rds of blank ammunition.

We all hit the deck and done the "HAS ANYONE SEEN THE ENEMY" routine.
Scouse D*&%$$G stood up with a very sheepish grin on his face saying "oops". He was one lucky guy...... no-one touted.
Not bad considering no-one liked him anyway !!!!!!!
