Submarine Drafting

[smithy]

hi,

i am currently in tiff training, and am nearing the time when you have to think about draft preferenaces.
i have heard that it is likely that our entry will get stitched for subs, as a lot of the other entries have aswell.

i would like to know what options i have to get out of this, as i really DO NOT want to go subs. i don't know where i stand legally as refusual is like disabaying orders.
people have said you can fail the medical/dive tank on purpose, but i would have thought the instrutors there know all the tricks.

Help!

Cheers.

What's wrong with boats (never subs, a type of bread roll)?

What`s wrong with boats
Well the fact that you have to ask that question scares the shit out of me. O Class boats smell like a changing room in a bus garage for one thing.
Anyone who goes aboard a perfectly serviceable surface ship and then willingly sinks it, whilst still on board? Kin loonies the lot of you
Deeps, it`s like the Para. Anyone who boards a perfectly serviceable aircraft and then chucks their little pink bod, etc.

Single ping number one.

BTW Deeps, do you get the McCain advert with the German Sub?
Kin hillarious Ping.......Ping......Ping.....

Wonder what happened to our (spit) tiffy friend smudge. I must have been in the entry labelled insane, everyone of us wanted to go on boats. It was the idea of carrying out an actual role that apealled to me. As far as I've been able to work out your average warship is there just for show. Where as us steely eyed killers of the deep were more preoccupied with intel gathering, dropping off tourists (though why they chose to go in boats at the dead of night I'll never know) and lobbing Tomahawks at unsupecting Chinese embassy's.
Now where did I put that sanity chit.

Youm makes oi larrrf youm durzz
Do you get the Mcain ad, or what?
Kreigsmarine unterseeboot crew at action stations.
Suddenly, there`s a huge "pinger" They all look at each other, Then "pinger" there`s another one. The Capt and controll room crew start searching the boat(fork nose why) and as they enter the galley, the chef is stood infront of a bank of microwaves all going "ping" as the pizza slices are cooked.
I thought of you mate, bless you my son
How`s the new job going Nate? Good I hope
Surface contact, range three thousand!

Yes dear, that`s Marsh Barton service area, do you want a piss or what?

Bert old chap, sorry I've been spending my online time of late lurking on educational forums swatting up for when I start my new job on 1st September. Some of those forums are great, I've never met a bunch of people so easy to get on a bite. This job is getting me down I’ve had my notice in since May but my new job doesn’t start until September, over this time I have come to resent people ringing up with their trifling problems, anyone would think this was a Helpdesk.

“Me till’s broken” says barely literate shop manager with the whining voice of a fish wife.

“When you say broken in what sense do you mean?” says I.

“It’s broken”

“Ok, but what is it doing?” says I.

“Its not working, it’s broken”

“Okay I appreciate that but HOW is it not working?” says I whilst choking back tears of frustration.

“Its not taking bets, and brings up a message that says something, something”

“Do you remember what the message actually said?” says I, squeezing the life out of my stress ball and not for the first time wishing a horrible death on someone.

“No” says the fish wife “I took it off before I could read it”

“Could you take another bet and call us back with the message” says I, praying that when she rings back she gets someone else. But no this is not to be, I get the dreaded beep in my ear.

“Me till’s still broken”

“Forget it I’ll get an engineer” by now I have lost the will to live, and lose hope for the future of humanity as long as people like this are allowed to breed.

Not seen that advert Bert although I've often gone into close (safe guard rule in force) contact drill at the sound of the microwave!
