One story that always makes me laugh comes from one of those "Confessions" programs. In this case it was about a RN Sailor who whilst on leave met a stunning girl and arranged to meet up the following weekend. His mate also fancied her and when the Sailor found he could go on the date his mate took his place and told the girl that he had changed his mind and didn't want to see her. Next time they were in port the sailor tried to contact the girl but no luck. Eventually he found out what is friend had done and swore revenge.
The ships next deployment was to the Caribbean on anti-drugs patrol. The sailor's mate was a gunner on the twin 30mm cannon and was known as an excellent shot. Knowing that a practice drill was due and to show up his "Mate" the sailor adjusted the sights to fire slightly to the right. However before the drill took place the ship was tasked to intercept a suspected smuggler.
On intercepting the smuggler, who refused to stop, the ship's Captain orders the 30mm to fire across its bow. The mate took aim and fired but instead of stitching the water in front of the smuggler he blew its bow off causing it to sink. The mate caught bloody hell and was brought up on charges. the sailor kept his mouth shut as revenge was sweet.

Good story, but I sure am uncomfortable that to take revenge one had to play with lives!
The moral of the story is that things can get horrible wrong when playing the fool with weapons!
Following the British Indian Army custom, pointing a weapon even if not loaded is a serious offence in the Indian Army!
Never fool with a weapon, even in jest!Last edited by Ray; 22 Oct 07,, 08:36.
