I wasted too much of my life sitting in the back of a Puma in Germany along with an interpreter. a medic, a fireman in charge of the biggest fire extinguisher I had ever seen and sundry others waiting for something to not happen, I swear we were stood to before the armourers had even got out of bed in the UK, let alone loaded it and they were probably tucked up in bed again before we were stood down. One of the SST asked what I would do if we really had to deal with an incident, I told him if I was lucky I might get to make tea for the VSO that would undoubtedly turn up to get his picture in the papers, but I reckoned the locals would be dealing with it long before they realised what it was they were dealing with, when we pitched up with out fire extinguisher.
