Kit List?

Is "lizard" the opposite of "Ally" then Ron

We have a gert big bastard down under mate. Abbos call`em "broad arrow."
Four foot long, mad as a cut snake they are.
Claws this big
Exist in a permanent state of mega sad-on, right bastards mate.
A bit like Geordys But with a sense of humour failure
If frightened, they claw their way up the nearest tree or tall object .
And that might be you
I.A. if you spots one and it looks like it`s in a nark, is to throw yersen on the deck and lie flatter than a witches tit , till it thins out.

Old bush feller chippy, mate of mine, tells a tale of a remote construction site way out in the GAFA(great australian fark all=slang name for outback) where some unpopular individual went for a sit on the dunny one day.
The blokes had caught a broad arrow and were waiting for him to take a dump, as he starts to unload, they post the lizard over the top of the door
Matey stands up, negative trolleys and the lizard gets stuck right in Larf

This`d never happen in Wolverhampton, btw

Ha ha! Mega! Tall object? Not this callsign mate!

[harry hackedoff]

Same as, we`d be right mate

This thing clawed it`s way up the bloke till it reached his head and then dug the claws right in. They had to shoot it before it would let go
I love living in a country where this is considered a "harmless prank"

Another good tip if you're buying padlocks that use keys is to have them all barrelled the same so that one key will open all your locks, it'll cost a little extra but it's well worth it as it saves a lot of time trying to suss out which key fits which lock.

Alternatively you can just get some paints or different coloured tape and colour code your padlocks and keys.

hi

Follow the sapper, your profile states you're in the Royal Engineers but yet you're telling people to buy boots they wont be allowed to wear?

I'm not trying to be funny with you but it just doesn't make sense, a serving soldier should know full well it's issue only kit during basic training.

lol

[SandyTheGuvnor]

hi i have seen alot of useful info on this page but one thing i would recommend on getting before you go is a pair of pro boots, designed as cold weather boots they are much better than the standard issue boots and much more comfy when having to run around alot during basic training. hope this advice helps.

from follow the sapper

Do you not think instuctors would notice that you we wearing them ??

the pro boots are issued as required as the army's cold weather boot. During basic training we were supplied with these boots and i found them much superior to the standard issue boots.

So would you recommend using these as you describe "cold weather boots" for tabbing in the heat ??

My son has just gone to bassingbourn and bought everything on his list.But when he got there he was told to keep everything in his case because they supply everything at a cost. All his stationery and boot brushes and polish he had to buy again from the army plus he had to purchase the army tracksuit at £87 a throw even though he was told before hand that it was optional.

[follow the sapper]

no i would not reccomend them for that.
