Army stories from back when:
- Waited for orders at an abandoned warehouse deep in a forest with the rest of my squad for six hours before any officers got around to the place. Orders were to get back to base. Travel time to the warehouse was two hours. Wasted ten hours total doing nothing. At least it was summer and didn't rain.
- Waited for orders nine hours at a crossroads that me and another soldier had been ordered to control. Didn't see a single traveller the entire time. Rained hard. Finally got told we weren't supposed to have been there. Someone higher up just forgot about us.
- Slept one day from seven in the morning to six in the evening in a trench. Woke up to a lieutenant loudly coming in for a check. Went back to base with squad. We then proceeded to break into the base kitchen to get supper (with a young nervous staff sergeant whom we talked into letting us do it). In the morning everyone checked into the infirmary with a bad cold (that we didn't make up). Got shouted at by lieutenant, who then got shouted at by the base doctor (who outranked everyone except the base commander).
- In combat training we got given too few blanks to actually do the training assaults we were supposed to be doing do, so we ended up stealing blanks from the 'national team' (we were the 'rebel team', so thematically it worked). Later we heard a rumour that the reason we were given too little ammo was the commander of the nationals who wanted us to 'lose' (which was ridiculous since it was supposed to be basic war training, and not a contest). Captain gave us a commendation for excellent manouvers, which is interesting because I don't remember us doing anything that could have been described like that. Lieutenant shouted at us for being undisciplined (I think he just liked shouting in general).
