Funny things while in the PRD/RDF

Riddle101

Anyone out there in the PDF/RDF have an funny stories to tell or share of their experiences. I thought it would be cool to make a thread to hear everyones stories.

I'll go first:
-Last week i was up in Gormo putting up tents cause we where staying the week there and we had just about got both tents up, we were just about putting the finishing touches on it when all of a sudden a huge breeze came out of nowhere and lifted both tents into the air, that we were working on up off the ground and tore them apart smashing one against the wall of the offices besides. At the time i had only turned around and didn't see it lifting off the ground but i coped on when i saw my Sgt legging it past me to get out of the way of the falling pipes, so i rapidly looked back and saw the tents and was like Oh S**t and just ran. Needless to say we had to go all the way back to Dublin and all the way back to gormo and restart the next day,

-Was getting a billet inspection last year in The Curragh and Two of my Sgts were doing the inspection, so they walked in and looked around, one Sgt picked up a small piece of fluff and put it on my nose and said is this yours and left it on my nose, the other sgt sees a pair of mucky boots belonging to my roommated and say. Are you into Scat porn. That phrase is now used by us today

-Was getting my audio/visual tests done last week and the docter said you have a cough. i said 'Yeah i've been busy lately and the docter gets all worried and starts writing something down on paper and asking me questions like how long has this been going on and how are you now, i was rather worried at this point because he seemed to be up in arms about this, he said When did you first start feeling the dizziness, i said What. He said when did the dizziness start i said 'No no i was busy. The docter looks at me and says oh really and just rips the paper out and says your fine and lets me leave

Doing orienteering with the RDF,first time doing it needless to say I wasent the best.Got so desperate at one point of not being able to find a flag me and another competiter thought some kids must have robbed the flag as it wasent in the right place and we debated wether to challenge the kids on the missing flag.We were finally pointed in the right direction about 10 mins away:o

That wasent the end of it!The finish line had packed up for the day without realising we were still out there and had to set up again after the man picking up the flags told us to go home.Needless to say there were a few laughs had at my expense.
