Duelling Officers Set Fire to Mess

[dimsum]

Oops.

Two officers attempting to settle a disagreement by duelling with flares at a British Army base have set fire to the officers mess, according to Forces TV sources.

The officers decided the solution to their argument was to each take a kayak into the swimming pool and fire flare guns at each other at the Allenby Barracks in Bovington on Friday night.

One of the flares managed to set the seven-story building alight.

One more thing, after compasses, they can't play with anymore ...

Kayaks and flare guns - these guys are a perfect fit for the future RCN.

Must have been Royal Marines officers from the armour support group.

Only Marines officer would consider it proper to resolve matters by duelling using kayaks.

Legendary.  Even better than the pool table through the window(s) of the Wainwright Officers' Mess.....

I prefer the Sgt & WO mess swimming pool turned patio in Chilliwack.
