In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed ForcesI've never been a soldier. I was an air cadet once, but that mostly involved sitting in a mouldy hut learning about aeroplane engines with the hint that one day we might go flying.
Yet, anyone who has spent time defending their nation, or at least drinking bromide-laced-tea for their nation, must have stories to tell. Tell them now.

Only for a short whileI'd been in the army a matter of days when i decided that being shot at by lunatics wasn't the ideal job for me. Whilst polishing my helmet one day, i met a kind builder who was repairing a broken window, shattered by shrapnel. I managed to sneak into the back of his van and he took me back to his where he introduced me to his friends; Cowboy Man, Indian Man, Policeman and Leather Man. We formed a pop group, the Village People, and had a few successful songs. I'll always remember my time in the army as a lucky one.....
