(I would guess that a fair few on here would have instructed in some sort of military subject during their career since a fair few have said they were instructors and I would say that not all have gone to plan).
Sort of thread drift, did a course at Tidworth. It was run by an ex-Army WO, REME at a guess, and a completely disparate group of studes. I think the 6 of us had about 150 years of service between us. During the lesson yarns and stories abounded. But at the end of the lecture we discovered we had covered the whole of thee topic for that lecture and finished on time. We didn't even notice how the WO steered it. Class.
