We had no choice in the matter, alas: the school required it. But there were voluntary extras that I always opted for since they offered free holidays around the country, courtesy of the Army (i.e., the UK taxpayer). Thus I've done unexpected things like tackle the assault course at Aldershot and fire heavy artillery.
I think I reached the lofty rank of lance-corporal -- possibly corporal. It was a long time ago . . .
