I was not in the military, however, I was in junior army cadets and when I was about 19 and about to leave in a few weeks, this 13 year old ham looking to join came in with his hamplanet parents and then said I was drinking too much coke. (I had just done 100 laps of our parade ground for insulting a member of staff.) I just looked him dead in the eye and told him to take his diabetes pills. I had to run another hundred but afterwards everyone applauded me.
