There are countless books currently available which highlights the tragedies and hardships of service life. This book is a tongue in cheek look at the lighter side of military training. It cover's my enlistment into the Royal Engineers after four previously unsuccessful attempts resulting from ill health. My subsequent 19 weeks training as a Sapper in southern England. I found myself caught up in many hilarious and outlandish situations, from my arrival to my passing out parade. The book will delight those who enjoy humorous light reading.
