Good thing the expected attack didn't come until about an hour after I was relieved.

When I was a sprog cadet we were carrying out an ambush towards the end of a week of field excercises. We were positioned in deep ditch beside a road waiting for the enemy (The Fantasian Freedom Fighters that some other Brits on here may recall from excercise?) to bimble along the road. I was part of the cutoff group at one end of the ambush and was so completely exhausted that a leprechaun appearing floating in front of the bush I was hiding in didn't seem at all wierd
On a similar excercise in Otterburn training area we had to stop another cadet from blowing the ambush by wandering over to a coke machine that he could see on the far side of the track we were positioned along
