You used to go to Rhodesia to see the Zimbabwe ruins. Now you go to Zimbabwe to see the Rhodesian ruins.

[Officer of Engineers]

Afraid you've missed the intent. Just wanted you to share some funny stories about your service. Nothing about combat (unless they happened to be funny) The link I posted show examples. Barrack life. Clerks making your life miserable. Unpalatable food. etc.

Hey, at least they are not boring

He's Rhodesian. Rhodesia ceased to exist before the first single malts were put on sale.

[Doktor]

Sure. As long as you got some beer stories?

Does 6 years in the Rhodesian War count, with some family members in for the whole 15? It was quite informal, mind you, just protecting the farm and burning out the terrorists in neighbouring villages.

[Doktor]

No, I joined when I was 19. I'm 34 now. I meant I have 4.5 years until I reach 20 years in the Army!

Oh, I misunderstood.

Something you want to share here after you check this?

[Doktor]

You joined the Army aged under 16? I thought it is impossible to enlist before 17.

[RobtheSoldier]

Joined the Army in 1998, 4.5 years until I hit 20!
