Pull Up a Sandbag

Book excerpt: "Contributed by military personnel from the British Army, Navy and Air Force, some of the descriptions of the mad, bad and dangerous antics of servicemen on and off duty to be found in Pull Up a Sandbag are enough to scare the living daylights out of the average civilian, whilst others would cause even a hardened RSM to blush--but they will all be recognised as true to life by anyone who has served in the armed forces." "The daft pranks that military types like to play on one another and especially on 'sprogs' and 'newbies' -- the disastrous results of mixing stupidity with lethal weaponry -- the havoc caused by the infamous Emperor Mong, who whispers in the ears of unwary servicemen and tells them to do things they will later regret -- the misunderstandings between those in command and the men they are commanding -- the misfires, mishaps and mistakes--all are recorded here for the reader's education and amusement."--Back cover.
