On board a tank

Somehow I ended up in the army seated a top a moving tank with 3 other soldiers. When the tank move off I already find myself seated at a position that is very uncomfortable. I tried not to shift because the tank is moving. Halfway through the journey I found my legs tucked into below the turret, and the turret starts to turn, and I really feared that my legs are going to get crushed by the rotating turret. I shouted ‘stop the tank’ frantically but it seems like the driver in the hull can’t hear me. For a moment I lived in fear as my legs are just placed nicely under the turret, any big movement from me and they will be crushed. Somehow we reached our destination like that. Shawn was the driver for the tank when we dismount. He said he heard me shout but it didn’t occur to him that I was in danger and so he continues to drive. After we reached we are supposed to line up in groups and sit down in a line in a multi-purpose hall, where many others were seated. They are all taking turns going up to the whiteboard in front scribbling some words next to their group names, the qualities that their group has... like some orientation games.
