I was told that one RIC bunch came back to the Deathstar after a session out in the field and caused mayhem in the NAAFI - so the very next day they were sent out for another week in the field. I never knew if it was true, but it certainly should have been!
Yes the Ghurkas are true gents. Unlike the RIC during my time at MPA, I was lucky enough to end up with 12 knife marks that came through to the inside of the door, this was from a RHF personnel who was pi$$ed walking back through my corridor. There was a commotion in the corridor and I opened my door to have a look, I had to force it closed as an idiot dressed in full RHF dress proceeded to try and attack me with his Sgian-dubh... I should have phoned the real police however sadly he was acquitted of all charges. Nothing surprises me after that.
