How I felt at that moment in time was unbelievable, I felt shame to be standing in front of this woman naked, I felt humiliated, but above all I just wanted to go home, have it your own way then she said and walked over to the door and opened it, hey girls look what I have in the room she shouted, and four young women soldiers came in and started to laugh and point at me. I looked down at my feet my shame was complete. Hear big boy laughed one of them you had better put these on before your dick shrivels to nothing, and they left me to put them on, by this time I was a broken man cold hungry thirsty humiliated tired, my head was a mess was this a bad dream or was this happening to me. I just did not know all I wanted was this torment to finish, the door opened again and a man stood in front of me, do you know who I am he said I looked at him I said nothing, again he said do you know who I am, I stated my name rank and number. No soldier I asked you do you know who I am, I blinked my eyes and I recognised  my commanding officer, yes sir I said, then I ask you once more do you know who I am this time he had said it a bit more gently and with a slight touch on my arm, and then it hit me he had said the code word which was do you know who I am, it was all over I had been on the run for a week and been interrogated for three days and I had passed with flying colures.

That night I lay on my bunk and looked around the room there were only twelve of us left the others had failed the test and had returned to there regiments.

We lived to fight two more tests that would see our happy band of soldiers dwindle down to six, but for now I slept like a baby only to be woken at 5am next day come on you lazy bastards what do you think this is a holiday camp or something. Said a laughing sadistic voice, call yourselves soldiers’ not in my book you ain’t now get up and move your arses.
