Two junior officers managed to set fire to their mess after allegedly having a duel with flare guns after a boozy formal dinner.

The
2nd lieutenants apparently climbed into kayaks in the outdoor swimming
pool at Allenby Barracks in Bovington and began firing at each other on
Friday night.

But
one of the flares, designed to call for help at sea, managed to start a
major fire in the seven-story mess, which has been badly damaged.

This was normal between Companies in the 82nd at one time.

We had a health and welfare one time where enough pyro was found in the ceilings to outfit the Platoon for at least 2 days of deployment outside the wire.

Funny thing is most of the Privates and E-4s didn't know it was even there.

Hmmmmm.... Improvised weapons, irregular warfare, they found their way to the boathouse ( ... and may even be able to recall what color it is) ....












These two were just deep selected for SAS, and needed to stage a fake dismissal for their cover story.

Yes even in the 90's a star cluster salvo would happen when the power went out
or a big fight. I had heard pilots getting the shit scared out of them passing over
the barracks from a Pope take off.

Ha!  Pretty good.  I've got some E3/E4 stories that top it, though.  

Can't go there though.  I would not be surprised if there are people still looking for us.
