Quite funny for me, but going to military camps around the country, using their assault courses, being allowed to shoot all types of guns, it was the one time in my life I was my most grown up and responsible, and my best behavedmidlife306 wrote:What? On top or under the turkey hat?? Lol
I know what you mean there, i was the same when i used to fly with the cadets out of RAF Benson between the age of 13-19. Instead of shooting guns, we were flying loops, barrel rolls & stall turns in Chipmunks, Bulldogs & then finally the Tutor single engine 2 seat aircraft.Son of a gun-ner wrote:Quite funny for me, but going to military camps around the country, using their assault courses, being allowed to shoot all types of guns, it was the one time in my life I was my most grown up and responsible, and my best behavedmidlife306 wrote:What?
