When I was in Rhodes (east Greece), we were camping with my 542nd mechanized infantry battalion, and there were lots of scorpions. We had brought a wooden bank with us, and at bed time I saw a sergeant laying to sleep on the bench. I asked, 'Is sir something wrong, I could help' he said just leave me alone. I learnt from his colleagues that he found a scorpion under his pillow (in his tent) and the "brave" sergeant decided to sleep on the bench. Soldiers wished to be bitten, so that they could get sick leave.
