Hahaha... after reading all the posts, I think my story is the
strangest ( but not necessarily the lamest)...
A recruit came up to me one day ... he asked " ... can I see you
for a personal problem...? I want to be excused from Fire and
Movement exercise !" I replied rather suspiciously "... sure but
how is a personal problem related to a field training ...?".
He then replied "It is very personal and would prefer that we talk
in the platoon office where it is private."
We proceeded to the office where I sat down at my desk , he stood
before the desk. Then he began to unbotton his PT shorts! "Whoa !
... what are you up to ?" I yelled at him !
He then said that he had a crooked dick ! He claimed that while
doing Fire and Movement practice a few days ago, he had an erection
(!!!???) and when he proned down he "broke" his dick ! He went to
see an outside GP at the weekend, but the GP said nothing can be
done at the moment but some corrective surgery will be needed later
in his life. The recruit said that his thingy was at a right angle
permanently, and he has to be excused from prone position because
he is afraid it will "bend" further under pressure !
Needless to say, I dismissed him and ordered him to get his thingy
checked up by the camp MO. As far as I remember, he was never
excused prone position , after the MO check-up ! Not sure if he has
had corrective surgery after NS.
