Jim Duncan sent this through, how true!

F/Lt S*****ley was a snob of the lowest order, and cared little for the SASF guys. We were expecting trouble from the natives at one time, and held some exercises. As I was a marksman, I was told to set up a bren gun in the bush and
ensure it was well camouflaged, and covered a clear sweep of the pan (aircraft dispersal area). I had a bloke on a .303 with me who would also help with the bren magazines. S******ley went off to oversee some of the other positions and when he came back, he couldn't see me anywhere. I had camouflaged the position so well, that he was almost on top of me when I jumped up and answered him! He was not
amused, and bollocked me accordingly! I loved it!
