The military do things their own way, which is fine, but when those guys leave the military they have to get used to a different way of doing things.
I’ll second that too.
No shaving,
No pointlessly daft haircuts
No more nasty ‘…guess who’s leave is cancelled and you’re off somewhere hot/cold/isolated/dull/scary…’
(For six months)
No saluting the T/M
No more ‘…paint that gleaming relic…’
No more grovelling up a slight incline at 20 kph on an autobahn behind a fascist with a flag flapping from his window
No trying to get Kiwi to make greasy boots shine
No more ‘ooh, that’ll be nice’ when hot water is two days further than the next Moto
Having vaguely amusing desk-bound, wheezy- whacko’s ‘in the office’ at work
The occasional grumpiness of the above replacing stripe-crazed NCO ■■■■■■-droids marching to the bog
The law being there to empower me
Pulling stuff that doesn’t necessarilly draw the wrath of lesbians
Sharing a friendly smile with foreign drivers rather than being gobbed-at by them
Eating a meal without the picquance of cordon bleu paraffin marinade
(Without minging diggers)
Enjoying all the above without having to wear a rubber-face
Enjoy doing it without a pointy/stabby/shooty thing as a best friend
Aah, happy daze…
