Hello all,
I was on e-goat a couple of years ago under the same handle. I drifted away due to ill health, but I'm better now so I'm back. Save me having to use my brain, I'll simply post the same intro I used last time round.
Ex long-haired, hairy-arsed plumber. 15 years before the flag and twice before the station commander. Long hair utterly gone, hairy arse still the cause of hushed conversation at the regular Naked Baby Oil Twister parties we have here. My career peaked when I picked up the Corporal DI's dropped pace stick as I got off the bus at Swinderby and can only be considered as 'unremarkable' from then on, even by the charitable amongst you.
Some of my best failures were achieved at famous, long-forgotten and since reclaimed-by-nature places such as Cnigsby Dump, Wildparts, Coshford, Shawburgh, Scumpton, Goose Bye and Night-Mareham. There were others, but I forget. Philosophers call these 'details', unimportant to the present - mere interludes in the journey of life'. I call them 'detachments'.

I was there when:
- Many troops spent several tea breaks sat next to mole-hills with shovels waiting to "smack the little f****ers heads in" as per the orders of an almost certainly insane Slight Fergeant who probably went on to be a Wobbly Orange but without the 'almost certainly' codicil attached to the 'insane' bit.
- See above, but change the bit about shovels and molehills for: paint grass outside AGSE with IRR green because it was spotted with Eau de Nile and Oxford Blue.
- Thousands of people servicing phantoms near a quaint town in Deutschland were tapped on the shoulder and sent to the gulags. Well, there were 11. Gilbert Blades came out to play.
- A Toom got its first confirmed Jaguar kill.
- Sergeant Fletcher almost blew up due to wrong kind of close-proximity fire.
- The BBC filmed a disasterous Phantom Canadian Roll.
- Live 20mm rounds were turned into souveniers and porridge was served.
