Good Stories from summer courses

[bcbarman]

Just wanted to start a forum for people to tell there interesting stories, rants, praises and feelings of their courses of the summer of '05.

Heres one to get started:

    Sgt: hey Pte____, where is your weapon?

    Pte: The other Sgt took it away because he said I had an ND (Negligent Discharge-firing weapon when you not supposed to)

    Sgt: and why would he think that you had a ND?

    Pte: (in depressed voice) because I had a ND

The Sgt had to walk off the position because he was trying so hard not to laugh

Power to ya man, good times, good times

Cheers

There was a funny incident on a 3's course this summer where some guy's bed got taken apart and his bedspace was made in the bathroom.  Duty guys found out and apparently thought it was pretty funny also considering other than the fact that other than the fact that it was in the bathroom, the bedspace was literally made to Basic level standards, measurements and all.

The setting up of some poor course mates bed space somewhere else is an old and honoured tradtion in the military. The real trick is where you do it. The Parade Square is the ultimate, that takes timing and teamwork.

I think I know who did it Jinxed. If he's from mtl then we're talking about the same person. A good buddy of mine.

Was it in Kingston?

Heres what i learned about SHARP training: sharp is a program designed to give bums off the street a job. furthermore, A good solider never feels harrassed.

hmm, video cameras are fun... a guy on course got caught looking at porno in a bathroom stall twice, haha.

porno checks, some guy left his porno out so everyone had to bring their porno mags out for inspection to make sure they weren't crap, every one got a rating by the Warrant....

"IS THAT A PUBIC HAIR I SEE IN YOUR GASMASK???" -sgt. as he pulls a curly hair out of my roommates gasmask

having my room tornado'd and boots tied to the cieling.

oh yeah, on feild ex the trench beside me all fell asleep. Sargent came along, stole the guys C7, loaded a full mag and emptied it at them in the trench from about 4 feet from there faces..... they slept through it. LMAO, that was awesome.

Not awesome, unsafe, and he should have been charged. What if the BFA threads had stripped and it shot off inot th eface of the individual(s), what if some of the crap that shoots out of the barrel whent into the eyes, of the troop(s)??
Minimum distance for shooting at someone is somethign like 5m I think.

 

[tomas]

minimum distance is indeed 5 m though we were told never to fire one at someone.. infact they showed us what it was like by shooting apples with and without a bfa, even without they shot the apple all to crud. it was pretty wierd.

 

[Jaxson]

not to get side tracked, but what is a BFA?


Edit: Thanks Michael i didnt even know about the word search.

In the past two years we have done some interesting things with beds... A whole room standardized in an elevator for a drunk friend... A bed and night table on top of an arena.  And yes, the parade square.  We also filled a buddies room with dirt and trees, put a hooch up and removed all modern day furniture and played war sounds on a stereo. ;D

Nothing beats the Arty sim in a ammo can though, makes you think twice about throwing near someone. :

  Well i got a good one from my course.. another 'wrong' thing the instructors did i guess like fireing at some one with blank rounds but hey, "a good soldier never feels harassed"

  Our last day in the trenches at about 0300 hours our mcpl was walking through the trench lines, and we did the usual halt and password..  he knew the password but instead of walking behind the trench he went to walk infront, i told him to stop and turn around and walk behind, just then some one (another instructor) jumped in the trench and grabbed my buddy from behind, some how got his weapon, threw it out of the trench and pinned my buddy to the ground, at the same time, the mcpl grabbed my rifle, pulled me up outta the trench (by the rifle lol, too stubborn to let go, not dumb enough to fire) and pinned me to the ground and did a fake 'interrogation' asking where the c6 gun was placed the names of my supiriors and the location of the other trenchs. after pouring our canteens on us and not getting any answer after about 5 mins they left. the funniest part was the second instructor (who was a bombadier) and was a bit on the larger side was climbing out of the trench lost his footing and fell back in ontop of my friend who was laying on the ground lol

 

[025]

oh yea, and something that nearly killed me trying not to laugh at

a private runs by the mod tent we are takeing a class in, followed by another private a few seconds later

mcpl - "HEY! cocksucker!"

2nd private - "me?"

mcpl - "yea you, tell that other cock sucker to get over here!"

2nd private - "Hey! cocksucker!"

maybe its just me, or maybe u had to be there, but sitting at attention and trying not to laugh at that nearly killed me

 

[ROB14]

I got to many to share...

-Accidental fire in a roomates locker prior to inspection

-female "entertainment" magazine stuffed under pillow prior to inspection

-overnight eyebrow, mustache shavings

-Condoms in rifles prior to inspections

A good solider never feels harrassed.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. Yes, I was equally bored sitting through the SHARP lectures, but that doesn't mean they're not occasionally necessary. Ever had a boss tell you that unless you slept with him, you'd be fired? Ever had someone physically molest or assault you in the workplace?

You think you'd have every right to feel harrassed in those situations? Damn right you would. You think this would make you a bad soldier? Of course not, what an idiotic thought.

 

[Blunt Object]

This is my favorite one ever:

Pte: Yes master corporal!!!

Sgt: master coproral??? what is three chevrons and a leaf (pointing to his slip on).

Pte:Thats a Seargent Master coporal!!

 

[Madjai]

Pte:  Yes Master Corporal!

Sgt glares at him.

Pte:  Sergeant!

Sgt still glares at him.

Pte:  Master Sergeant!

Had a hard time keeping that one in.
