How many of us are ex forces?

Thanks for the poppy Pete, I’ll pass it on. By the way have you been able to get onto the TMW forum site, I know they have been doing some work on it the last few days but that’s supposed to be finished, I still can’t get on though!

Have a good parade tomorrow lads n lasses, better go and find me Brasso! Franky.

I ■■■■■■■ loved it there!

Into Central for “a couple of swift ones” on a sports afternoon, only to be thrown off the No. 6 bus at Stanley prison at 0600. Grabbing the 6A would have been a better idea though, straight to the doorstep. :cry:
It’s on my long list of places to go back to.

I’m ex army.

‘…I heard … that there are seventeen qualified Captains/Commanders for each Warship in the Fleet…’

Similarly, the RAF had more Group Captains than operational flying squadrons eighteen years ago - a fact not wasted by us corporals to whinge ‘up the line’ when busting our butts drinking tea :smiley:

So do all the US bases in UK, in fact worldwide. They even get paid in dollars and use dollars for everything on base. For off base they have to change into local currency.

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

‘Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?’

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.

I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.

I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

'Step forward now, you soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell

Bertie is ex Danish Royal Air Force, but he was rude to a Corporal General Major…or something, and got booted out.

Little fact for you fact fans, the whole of the Danish military is made from Lego.

Hmm…

You do realise the Danish Military have taken a considerably high proportion of casualties in Afghanistan?

Not quite as funny the Swiss Navy?
