Steven Preece - Amongst The Marines, The Untold Story

[dalo]

[quote="Boredatwork"]Has anyone else read this book? Someone bought me a copy on Saturday and I was pretty shocked at some of the stuff that goes on, especially the beatings of new recruits. Some of it was quite funny though (laughed myself silly at the description of what a grand slam is). Just how realistic is this book?[/quote

Just out of interest what is this grand slam you speak of?

I'm no expert on this but from my previous experience in the armed forces I believe it involves three bodily functions taking place in ones sleeping accom (pit or doss bag).

Not nice, big or clever

The incident in the book involved a woman's handbag and above mentioned action

I always though a grand slam was when you both pissed and shat yourself while out on the lash. Truly something to be proud of

Don't forget the "FULL MONTY" Sh*t, Pi** & Throw up all at the same time!

Only seen it done a couple of times but boy is it funny when you see the culprit the next day looking like a reject from a salt tasting factory.

Another thing to look out for is the "SWAMP RAT" normally a young lad not long out of training who over indulges and SWAMPS his PIT. (wets his bed) Or the really nasty ones who tend to get up in the middle of the night and SWAMP some other poor sods Pit (bed) with the poor sod still in it. Seen that done a few times, did it meself once or twice in truth!

Another nasty trick I've seen is getting some poor Sods hand and leaving it in a bowl of cold water whilst he's Zonked out in his pit. The result is he Swamps himself. It sound crude but bye Heck it's a scream sometimes. Well, these things happen.

Some switched on Kiddie decided that instead of getting up in the night to take a Leak he'd attach a hosepipe to his Willy and trail the hose out and into a container. Great until some utter swine shoved a cork into the other end! Yes Mr Parkman if your reading this thread it was little me. Steve Evans!

If you p*ss and sh*t yourself down the same leg the it's known as a "Log Flume".

Now that's what I thought the "Grand Slam" was. I was just toooo much of a lady to say it!

that reminds of being in training....coming back from a night on the lash in exeter...woke up in the morning and there was a huge pool of piss in the middle of the floor beteen mine and another nods bed. He swore blind that he woke up to find me pissing on the floor and asked what i was doing to which the reply was 'nothing' and i went back to bed.

had no recollection of this so must of been a spilt water bottle or something
