But if you're someone that joins the army, you're a bit of a hand grenade on the piss.

You go out, you're going to get into a fight, you're going to get yourself hurt, you're going to get nicked and potentially really hurt someone else.

Is it worth the gamble?

No, no.

I was never, I was always silent.

I'm silent with everyone.

Yeah, absolutely.

But this is the issue is when I went into basic training.

So when you go into basic training, I was 17 going in and I didn't do Harrogate.

So I went in adult entry.

So there were lads in there that were 21 upwards, say to 31.

And it was like, I'm going in there.

Big fucking ego.

Icebreaker.

They were like that on the icebreaker.

I think I lied on mine and I was like...

drug dealer I fucking weren't do you know what I mean I was just just lying from the get go trying to just be something that I wasn't and straight away something had happened in the block and for me in the back of my mind in the block when we were in basic training in the company lines I'm thinking right let's have it do you know what I mean let's have a fight I'd just be offering people out like a dickhead and even fellas that were like 31 at the age of 17 I was like I remember lobbing a set of here amplivox at someone because he called me a liar what's amplivox

ear defence okay yeah yeah yeah and I was like let's have it be just ego driven stupid trying to offer a motive or something stupid the fella's 30 odd been through a divorce and then he's got some 17 year old gobbling off to him so again I don't know where the camera is young men going in if you go an adult entry fucking be respectful be respectful of the older heads that are in there take what you can from them

Absolutely.

And you've got to think about it.
