Rabbits?

[Guest]

I saw this picture and I was wondering what the reason was for having to kill a rabbit as I was told you dont eat it you just have to kill it. Some one said to me that its to prove that you can kill something but surely to kill a rabbit is nothing comparied to having to kill a human.

I believe a story was in the papers a couple of years ago about this, how the evil Marines were killing little fluffy bunnies in Training, so I am not sure if they do it anymore.Maybe someone who is in training could comment.

Hey guys,
While I was on PRMC in July, our corporal told us about this. Apparently it's part of a survival exercise where you are dropped off in Dartmoor or Woodbury Common and given a rabbit, which you do indeed eat (or go hungry). As far as I've heard it's got nothing to do with proving anything other than basic survival skills.
Cheers,
Josh.

Got it in one Joshualoftus,
probably except for the "get given" bit. If it moves....catch it If it doesn't leave it, its more than likely got mixi.

On top of all that, you also get to model a most fetching rabbit hat c/w ears to tie under your chin, or a novel glove puppet

Nothing to do with killing something , anyway go for a sheep it has more uses and goes further. [ And I don,t mean from the back.]

Hehe I seen this, its very funny how its the biggest, cutest white rabbit you have ever seen, so the blood will stain it white coat.

If I ever make it that far, nowt would beat a bit of rabbit.

ML's seem to have a brilliant knack of making the most miserable situations funny, usually while you're wet too
