Funny Military Story

The story I am relating to you did not happen to me. Nor was I in Bosnia when it happened. I relate it to you as it was told to me by CPL KEN O"LEARY of 2 CMBG Sigs Squadron, CFB Petawawa, Ontario.
Cpl Shooter in his role as a dispatch driver was driving through Sarajavo on his way to deliver the daily messages to the various Canadian camps throughout the area. Along the way he gets bored and decideds to play with his sidearm. Now your sidearm would normally stay in it's holster unless you need to draw it in self defense but this doesn't occur to Cpl Shooter, who is short on common sense.
Anyways during the course of fiddling with it, he fires it. Sending a 9mm round through the cars floorboards. Surprised and shocked at what he's done he pulls over and attempts to think about what to do about his colossal fuck-up. Siezing upon a brillant plan he pulls out his trusty sidarm again and puts five more rounds through the cars windshield. He then gets back in and drives to the camp.
Upon arriving at base camp he promptly tells the duty officer that he was attacked and his car shot up. He says that he didn't get a good look at the attacker but is sure that the weapon was a Berrata 9mm handgun. Now the duty officer is naturally suspicious of all this and takes him over to the Military Police (MPs) and has him relate his story to them. Now the MP's are even more suspicious then the duty officer and ask to see Cpl Shooters sidearm. And lo and behold they discover that Shooters pistol is missing six rounds from it's magazine. A balistics test would later confirm that the rounds found in the car matched his handgun.
Now you would think that Cpl Shooter would do some jail time, get demoted or face a fine. But nope, in fact he was promoted and given a much desired posting at 2 ASG Sig Squadron fixing computers for the military.
I hope you enjoyed this story. I'm considering posting some stories of funny stuff that happened to me and friends of mine while I was in the military. But I thought that you would find this the most entertaining.
