Penhold cadet camp basic survival course. "FIRE FIRE FIRE" at 0400H and us running from tents in half dress, to find out that a tent actually WAS on fire. Something happened and a group of 13-15 year olds matured in the blink of an eye, the squad Cpl's immediately but calmly giving orders until the Warrant could get down from his tent (he was 20 or so meters away, to observe how we would fare as a unit with only "internal" command structure intact), and we had the fire doused within 20 seconds, before the Warrant was even halfway down from his tent to our group.
How did the fire start? A group of the 15 year olds thought it would be "cool and military" to light cigarettes (!! at that age!!) by dipping the tips in the fuel we had for our stoves. They spilled some and when they struck the match against the tent (!!!!!!!!!!) it burst into flame. Needless to say three RTU's were handed down in a most spectacular manner by the Camp CO later that day. We could hear him screaming from our barracks... and we were a good 300 meters from his office
