Okay, here's what you do for this game: You have to "ban" the person who posted above you for an outrageous, silly, or funny reason. Got it?
Banned because while that was certainly satirical, you are easily the most literate and sensible military grunt I've ever encountered with the possible exception of my dad.
banned for waxing poetically about your man crush on the Limey Man
banned for my man crush does not live here
I have a life outside of the Sins Forums.
Banned for Ryat is correct. I was in Arizona one time, minding my own business when, unbeknown to me, I would happen across his man crush. When it happened, I was stunned in a fashion I never could have foreseen. His hair moved with the grace of a gentle breeze even in the most stifling of atmospheres. His eyes drew you in, pulling your very soul from your chest and leaving you without breathe or consciousness. All you could know was his being. All you could know was how amazing he was and your sheer inability to resist.
Bah, I'm screwing with you. I just picture Ryat sighing fondly every time an old Fabio commercial airs.
So, Limey, you are/were in the military? I either forget or missed it. What branch?
Everybody has this conception that I'm in the army! Why!?!
First off, I'm 15, so banned because I couldn't possibly be legally in most Western armies.
Anyway, this conception appears to stem from my many exploits in the Combined Cadet Force which I attend. This is an organisation sort-of like scouts, but more military. For instance, we learn weapons drills, learn various other skills associated with the armed forces, participate in blank-firing maneuvers, participate in live-firing on ranges, annually go to train on army bases with army instructors (obviously not to the level that real soldiers train to because we're not real soldiers, we're teenagers in a cadet force), and occasionally go on exercise at MOD training areas, which means several days and nights conducting a blank-firing war on whatever militia/terrorist group those above have decided to create for us. The RAF division of my CCF gets to go flying as well. I don't because I'm not RAF, but nonetheless... Basically you do loads of stuff which the army does when training in a more controlled and less serious environment, because nobody's potentially getting killed if you fuck up (usually, there's some stories to that one). Anyway, it's great fun and even better for someone like me who wants to join the army of whatever country they end up in. Thank you for your time.
banned for it's the English version of JROTC, the high school version. ROTC is college. And most American high schools don't allow live firing exercises, the exception being the Missouri Military Academy.
In any case, I never looked at your profile, so I just assumed Scoutdog (my mistake, huh?) knew something I didn't.
Banned because future military, active, whatever, he's still several orders of magnitude more articulate than the lot I'm used to running into. Maybe it's because he's British and I've usually been only exposed to Americans.... I dunno.
banned for you just may have run into the morons of the military
they exist everywhere in all militarys
another word for them is cannon fodder so fear not
Banned and corrected.
banned for we are all given responsibility
whether we handle it properly or not is what defines us as morons or not
banned for trying to define the moron. I prefer to think of the moron as a mysterious creature, capable of awing even the most categorical of thinkers with their various capacities.
banned for I've met a few that couldn't awe a three year old with down syndrome.
