A super white horse (the kind that got wings like Pegasus and horn like Unicorn) entered BMTC. On the first day he was wearing boxer shorts that could be seen sticking out of his admin pants and one of his company instructors told him that he could not wear it (according to the BMTC tie down)...
Then mysterously the next day, the CO passed down this message telling the whole of BMTC that boxer shorts are now allowed. -

"As part of his duties, LTC Lo will keep track of the military situation in Afghanistan, talk to the representatives from the various warring parties, facilitate the parties' discussion of options for settlement and demilitarisation, and make recommendations to UNSMA on how to improve the situation in Afghanistan."

A rumour I've heard while in my NS days is that the Taliban placed a bounty on his head.
"Riotous looting and wreckage of UN and public property by heavy aerial and artillery shelling, however, continued unabated in the ensuing week, while inter-ethnic conflicts became increasingly brutal and cruel. Throughout, we continued to confer and negotiate with the local authorities, but to no avail. Arrangements to leave Mazar by ICRC flight in compliance with urgent instructions from UNSMA were unsuccessful. Finally, a death threat was explicitly issued against us by one of the factions."
Maybe that's where this rumour began. Heh

In 2000, there was this Tank PC who was guiding a tank to reverse.
The tank reversed into a training shed and caused it to crash.
A new training shed was built.
The training shed was named after him ever since. -
