Hunter coy after just 6 weeks

Post by CrouchmasterT »

Yep just 6 weeks in and i've been put in hunter with suspected stress fractures. Totaly farkin threaders :cry: I have no idea how long i'm going to be in as they haven't really told me much about whats wrong with me, they've just stuck me in the fractures section, although the problems apparently related to having shite feet.

My old troops lost about 12 so far, 5 or 6 have rapped and the rest huntered.

My advice to those starting training is crack on with injury and only go too sick bay if your sure its serious.

later all.

Haven't really found the first 6 weeks all that bad other than the immense pain in my legs.

Hunter coy is very relaxed though, a couple of hours in the techno gym each morning and a lecture in the afternoon, you don't work weekends and friday finish at 1230, but it really kills your morale and is very boring. my old troop went on a mud run yesterday i'm well threaders i missed that.

So you crack on with a niggle, the niggle becomes a problem, the problem gets you biffed, the problem has gone on too long, you bet Medical discharge, your unemployed, your thredders.

Maybe sickbay and hunter coy are there for reasons? just maybe eh.... :lol:

Lads one and all

Take in what Doc says or your going to be in a whole world of shit. If it hurts get it checked ASAP.

Hunter troop is there for a reason. If they Medically Downgrade you just accept that you aint gonna pass out with your Oppos. You'll meet them later in the Corp anyway.

Training is just 32 weeks of your career. What happens afterwards is what counts. Be you a Three Badger or a future CGRM at the end of it. So CAN the Stiff Upper Lip Crap and ensure that you get that Lid. Then life as a Bootneck really starts to get interesting, GEN BUZZ people.

When I got attached with the Corps, I was impressed with the brain cells, most lads take their fitness and HEALTH dead seriously.

Some peole think cracking on with an injury is great and big and brave.
SO it niggles and you pop brufen, then your bimbling down a street in a hostile enviroment and your pills run out, then you get bumped, but you cant contribute cos your biffed.
Your oppos now have an extra problem YOU! Plus muggings here would have had to get out of my farking slug to come help!!!!

So they are busy fighting off the towels with AK's and carrying you. You get back to safety and your stripey says "so how did you get injured?" and you say "back on the endurance course at CTC" silence..............whack!

Your a liabilty to yourself, your future health and your oppos! You wouldnt go out on patrol if your rifle wasnt working would you!!?? Well its you that pulls the trigger when needed, so if your biffed so is your ability to contribute.

Anyway apparantly theres a lush MA(Q) at CTC sickbay, Id be going sick with a sprained eyebrow for a look-see! :lol:

If you don't give a flying Fark for your own life at least consider your oppos and how you would feel if the boot was on the other foot!

Ignore Doc

Get out there, catch the Clap, piss razor blades and go for it! :D :D

Now, just where the Hell did I put my Kin Coat!!!! Only joking lads. Take Docs advice or end up as a nonentity because you wanted to prove to your Oppos and the training team that you are prepared to get a medical discharge and end up as a Civvy by being a PRONG.

You all come on this site to listen and learn. Well Listen in People. Ignore advice from people who aint done it. Watch and shoot when people like Doc, El Prez, Harry Hackedoff, Skiffle, and me and a few other tell you what to do. Idiots who advise you to carry one aint done it! We have. OK?

what you are realy worried about is the stigma of being back trooped, well don't. You probaly think that your oppos will look down on you or won't talk to you, if they are your freinds it dosn't matter where you are it's who you are that's important. You haven't droped of the end of the world all you have done is moved blocks , you can still go ashore with them and do other things. The first couple of days are the worst you fill very low and that you have let every one down including yourself but you haven't, what you have to do is treat it like another test. Listen and do what your instrutors tell you to do , dont try and overdo it and before long you will be with your oppos in a unit , I know because it happened to me and I completted 25 years in the Corps , and you know what my oppos never even mentiond about being back trooped.
Or to put it another way, you are a car you are driving along and a knocking noise starts you can carry on but by the end of your trip your cars still working but at a lesser output , or you put yourslef into a garage (hunter troop) get fixed and the car lasts for a lot longer

After been in Hunter Coy Since January...I can Say Its Shit and the amount of shit we get from the rest of CTC for loafing and crap is unreal!

Try watching your mates pass out then been told you'll be in one troop for a few more months...Morales Well high :roll:

Morale Of the Coy Is low and no one seems to realise that...

It really is like ground hog day the film, the same day every day..literally!

We recently had a New CPL who injected some fun, giving us different things to do, stuff you dont usually dont do or Learn in training..DAR Corridors, model Making etc...

Theres some lads been in there Years, arguably yes a few want to be in there but the majority cant wait to get thrashed in 2TP as a welcome brake from the day to day slug...

Hopefully i will be back in training in 8 weeks hopefully, just need to work on my pull ups and press ups as i dislocated my shoulder, damaged the joint ripped the ligaments n muscels...

Hunter Is S**T theres no two ways about it, anyone who says otehrwise doesnt have a clue...Its like constant marking time in the gym...Threaders!

If you have a niggle get it looked at cause eventually it could turn into something 100 times worse ... prevention is better than cure...if you cant prevent it then catch it early!

Davo..(Just Congratulated 3 lads that where with my org Tp who just passed out! We all get there....Just takes time!)
