Episode 4: The Places We Served & Survived – From War Zones to Wild Nights Out

🚨 This one’s not for those who think Army life is all marching and medals. Stu (ex-Royal Engineer) and Steve (ex-Royal Tank Regiment) take you on a no-holds-barred journey through the places that defined their military careers—from desert warzones to dodgy barracks, and the legendary nights out in between.

Expect a brutal mix of honest veteran stories, black humour, and total chaos, as they dig into the best and worst places the Army ever sent them.

🪖 Inside This Episode:

• Most Memorable Postings: Afghanistan, Germany, Cyprus, the Falklands, and a few you'd never expect
• Best vs. Worst Bases: From cushy luxuries to absolute sh*t holes
• Deployment Disasters: Lost gear, sketchy flights, and near-misses with the wrong war
• Legendary Nights Out: Boozy tales from Chatham to Cyprus and beyond
• Listener Hook: Got a place you’ll never forget (for better or worse)? Tell us your story
• Forces News Update: Including Invictus Games highlights
• Muckers Remembered: We raise a brew to those no longer with us
• Steve’s Quiz: "The BIG RAF OFF" – test your tri-service knowledge
