Ok, it's time to spark up another contest. This one's a bit different, but a bit the same. The different part is that March is all about a good "war story"... you know, the kind you tell around the bar at the mess after a few drinks. The "same" part is that the story needs to be enhanced with a photo (or several). The story can be about the time you accidentally caught the RSM's ruck on fire with a malfunctioning paraflare or when a buddy wedged his G-Wagon into an impossible position - as long as you have a picture to add to the story.
