It has to be when we were part of the enemy against Delta's, I think, in Belize.

We were captured, stripped naked and marched blindfolded through the pine forest. We eventually came to a stop and was told to lay down on our stomachs. All of a sudden we had sand poured onto our backs. The sand came off an ant hill!!!. The ants then started marching down throught the crack of our backsides onto our middle bits, stinging us, biting or whatever they do in the process. I still have nightmares of Terry Fox screaming his head off at the pain of the ants on his bits.

The thing is we were in the same Regiment!!

I was a J/S in Cwrt Y Gollen in 1976 . Whilst in the block during the evenings everyone was always thinking of new ways to get a laugh at someone elses expensive , french beds , hiding kit , all kinds of booby traps , you all know the form . Anyway , myself and a lad named Shelly (D&D) decided that we would design a new form of bed trap . remember those old steel beds , spring base in a solid steel rectangle frame and a steel head and foot board that supported the base via a slot . Well we made the bed to perfection and balanced the steel spring base onto both the head and foot board . As soon as the unsuspecting victim got into the bed the head and foot board would fall apart and the base would collapse onto the floor . The trap was set . I was dressed in normal block clothes being just an issued green towel wrapped around me and nothing else . I decided that the bottom part of the bedding would benefit from a little more tucking in so that it looked exactly as the unsuspecting victim had left it . Bad plan , I cautiously approached the foot of the bed and carefully began putting the final touches to our trap when all of a sudden the foot board moved and the spring base fell to the ground right on top of my right big toe which was totally un protected . It came down like a guillotine and broke my toe . I have never experienced such pain in all my life . Of course I then became the point of laughter and ridicule . Never , did I ever set up another prank involving beds . Pain level 9 . I have had an 11 but that's another story .

Either the evil sadistic shot putter of a German nurse that stabbed my stomach with needles every morning in Hospital or the equally sadistic German Doctor that had great fun removing the 3 pins from my broken finger using pliers and only a local anasthetic in my right arm. Breaking it was a piece of cake compared to those two (Amputation later was a breeze too) 8/10.

Not being female so I wouldn't have exprienced child birth (all the ladies out there that have, I can image the pain that you went through) I was involved in a RTA whilst serving on the BMATT in Namibia the doctors had to draw fluid from my spine, If ever you wanted to see a grown man scream and cry then you should have been in the hospital that day. Don't recommend it to anyone.

Hard to go on after Johns Wasp, But in Berlin I had an op to remove a infected gland from my rear, the op went ok leaving a open wound, which in time would seal, only problem it would take 10 days and it was located in the direct pathway of my bum, so all the fluids acidy type that passed at least twice a day, whiched caused the most tremendos pain ever recived plus with the mussle movement ensuring the wound was well open, knowing all the time I will have this pain again in a few hours and not just the gland but as they where there they chopped my Hemorides off for good mesure, Oh how I laughed, pain rating 8 would I do it again NOPE!!!!! Not a chance just like the bandit in the Naafi Hold the Plums everytime lol

My most painful moment was getting ordered by th CO in Warminster backed by that bloody scouse Murphy, to go to the hampshire regiment in Berlin as Drum Major and on the hampshire Co's interview when he said " How does it feel to join the best regiment in the Division" I replied " It's a pleasure to be here Sir"
That Gentlemen, is real pain 10/10.
