    If you’re going to not make Captain, that’s a spectacular way not to do it.
    “Didn’t make captain bro?”
    “No”
    “Why not? DUI?”
    “No”
    “Drug test?”
    “No, I set fire to the barracks while having duel with another officer involving a swimming pool, 2 kayaks, and flare pistols”

    You know, I think I read stuff like this in fiction. And while running some RPG stuff had starfighter pilots do similar (crashed landspeeder into pool) but never imagined that reality would repeat ๐Ÿ™‚

    We used to play sofa rugby in our mess. Then one day we took it to the next level and set fire to it to make it Flaming Sofa Rugby. But we did that outside. Crockery cricket was another favourite until the mess president put an end to it…he was a good sport about it, just afraid we would get too drunk and use the good China.
