What happened was we got into the HQ barracks having travelled from a different barracks. I thought we’d be going home straight away so I called my dad and told him to pick me up at a certain time. Other people who had their own cars had driven home from the other barracks without coming to the HQ barracks; in fact 1 girl went home last night.

It just seemed so obvious that we’d be going home straight away, everyone was saying only 2.5 hours till were home. We were told that we’d have to pay for lunch if we wanted it once we got there. I thought that because we were paying surely we’d be finished as soon as we got there, because we were due to arrive at lunch time.

We got into the HQ and I saw my dad outside waiting for me, having driven an hour from where we live to get there. Suddenly our corporal is telling us to go for lunch and well unload the ammunition from the vehicles afterwards and then go.

There were more than enough people to unload the ammunition.

It would take them about an hour to eat their lunch and be ready and then probably half an hour to unload everything. I'm thinking about my dad, and I go up to the corporal and tell him my dad is waiting for me and can I go. No one else’s parents are waiting, cos pretty much everyone else is from the city. The corporal tells me no, get your lunch and we’ll unload the crates. I tell him how long my dad travelled and that he has work later. The Corporal asks me why I called him; nobody said we’d be finished right away.

The Corporal tells me someone can drop me in a nearby town, but I think about how pissed my dad would be if he drove all the way there for nothing.

Anyways the corporal tells me just go, if you're gonna be like that we don't want you here, we don't want people like you. I get my bags and go.

The Corporal said all that in front of a senior NCO and some senior privates. It looks awful bad for me. Why the fuck did I call my dad? let the team down, and I never really got along well with the group on this camp, and they're all probably telling the story and bitching and shit.

I mentioned the situation and what the corporal said to me to another corporal on my way out, and he told me not to worry, but I can’t help it, cos I fucked up and fucked off in front of everyone.

It looks real bad for me and makes it look like I don't care…This is literally one of the worst things I've ever done….and what must everyone be thinking?p> Console me please... .
