"First guard duty on my own, on a tower with a handheld searchlight and a 303 with 5 bullets....Middle of night, picking up reflections from wild dogs in searchlight beam..Thinking they were natives approaching my guard post and letting go with 3 bullets. Red cheeked when telling the duty officer what happened, but accepted my story..lol"
