One funny story is about a Royal Marine who was doing a training exercise in a very muddy field. He slipped and ended up face - first in the mud right in front of his sergeant. Instead of getting scolded, the sergeant couldn't help but laugh at the comical sight of the marine covered head - to - toe in mud.
During the Gulf War, Royal Marines were involved in some intense combat situations. One particular story is about a Royal Marine sniper team. They were able to take out key enemy positions from a great distance, which not only saved their comrades but also helped turn the tide of a battle. Their precision and nerve in such a high - pressure situation were truly heroic.
In a military drill, a Royal Marine was supposed to be stealthily approaching an 'enemy' position. However, he didn't notice a small ditch and tumbled right into it, making a rather loud noise. His attempt to quickly get out and continue the mission in a stealthy way was so clumsy that it became a hilarious story shared among the troops.
In the Napoleonic Wars, Royal Marines played a significant part. They were on ships and also participated in land battles. They were skilled in both naval combat and fighting on land. There was a story where a small group of Royal Marines held off a much larger French force for days until reinforcements arrived. Their discipline and use of the terrain to their advantage allowed them to survive and ultimately be victorious.
Once, a dolphin played a prank on a sailor. The sailor was cleaning the deck and the dolphin sprayed water all over him with perfect aim, making everyone on the boat burst into laughter.
Well, obviously Harry is one of the main characters. There might also be his drill instructors who play a crucial role in his training and development within the Royal Marines.
One funny story is about a marine corps sergeant during a training exercise. He was demonstrating how to set up a tent quickly. But in his rush, he ended up getting the poles all tangled and the tent collapsed on him, leaving him looking like a big, flustered mess while the recruits tried hard not to laugh.
Well, here's a funny marine story. A group of scuba divers once encountered a very curious octopus. It kept changing colors and wrapping its tentacles around their fins in a friendly, not scary way. It was like it was giving them a tour of its underwater home. There's also the story of a little crab that chased a much bigger crab all over the ocean floor just because it got too close to its small hiding place.
One possible plotline could be Harry's journey to become a Royal Marine, facing all the tough training. Maybe he overcomes his own fears and insecurities during the process.
There was this time when a recruit was doing the obstacle course. He was supposed to climb over a high wall. He ran at it full speed, but instead of grabbing the top and pulling himself up, he kind of bounced off it like a human rubber ball. He landed on his backside and just sat there for a second looking dazed. His buddies couldn't stop laughing, and even the instructor had a hard time keeping a straight face. It was a moment of pure comedy in the middle of all that tough training.
