    Probe into sick Army initiation

    By JOHN KAY

    TWO teen rookie soldiers were forced to lick a urine-soaked floor in a sick initiation ceremony, it was revealed yesterday.

    They were among a group of 30 privates reporting for duty with the 2nd Battalion Royal Green Jackets.

    Junior NCOs organised an initiation quiz — with various forfeits for wrong answers. When the two 19-year-old privates gave incorrect replies, they had to get down on their knees and lick the floor which was covered with urine.

    Three junior NCOs and a rifleman have been removed from duty in an investigation into the incident at the Green Jackets’ barracks in Bulford, Hants. Top brass were said to be “horrified” by the scandal, which follows a series of bullying revelations. Last night senior military sources confirmed the privates had been forced to lick the floor but said they “chose” to lick urine.

    The Ministry of Defence said: “The Army takes duty of care very seriously. If evidence is found of wrong-doing, action will be taken against those responsible.”

    A senior officer said: “This appears to have been a moment of madness.”

    A rather unfortunate show.


    "Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."

    I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.

        I've heard of apprentices being subjected to similar 'initiation' rites. The practice is certainly not a new one.

              No, there seems to have been a choice of what they could lick off the floor.

              And they chose urine..
