Well it would qualify you to speak but the other main requirement is to have half a brain.

It was so laid back I sprained me neck!

As it is I was sigs as well. Whats your Oppos name, int a certain Scottish person is it? I went Printer when I was Med Downgraded in 85.

Still disagree with you ref the Pigs mind. I had some really good sessions with some commisioned lads. Mostly because of playing Rugby with them. So maybe I am looking at it though rose tinted specs but all in all I never found a "Them and Us" attitude prevailed during my time.

Yes some were right officious buggers I'll give you that but the majority were Ok to my mind.

Artist

What a bitter, twisted, person you are. In your, obviously, short career in the RM, you must have come across that rarity in the marines, the total prat, as an officer. There were some but the majority did not come into that category.
You should take Littlegreens last post with some seriousness. He is telling you like it is.
I did 23 years in the Corps - in various postings, and only came across plonkers a couple of times.
The RM are unique in the relationship between officers and men. Far more mature than the Army, or the Navy. There isn't a "class" distinction for a start.
I still have friends who were officers. Nothing has changed.
Get rid of that "pig" attitude adidev. It isn't the case.
Sneaky

Sisyphus- 'half a brain you' write, perhaps your choice of name for yourself explains more about your intelligence than mine.
Artist you are OK apart from marrying a socialist
Sneaky Beaky 23 years in the corps. You poor dear ,the best years of your life spent wearing uniform punctuated with yes sir no sir three bags full sir.
And I must drop this pig attitude' you say are you totally gormless man , pigs stood for all that I despised in Britain the class system 'them and us'. You must have had very blinkered vision not to notice that, perhaps after 23 years you became institutionalised and ended up like a lot of ex royals living around or near RM bases waiting for orders that never come. Either way you are another Royal that must wear rose tinted glasses the past is but a lovely tinted memory for you.As for your remarks about being bitter and twisted well I haven't noticed, perhaps there is a side to me that I haven't been aware of all these years when enjoying myself. rhubarb to that one mate I talk to ex marines who live world wide and their feelings towards pigs do not vary to much from mine about pigs perhaps it is synchronicity.
My time in the Royal was short I agree ,six and a half years isn't to much compared to 23 years of kit musters.But I did enjoy my self very much ,good times good blokes I will take quality of life over quantity any day so 6 and a half years was good enough for me.I bless the day when that fateful round hit my leg and so it was bye bye to Royal and all that .It was a new day and I had a life to lead -walked out of Eastney barracks the sun shining and life was grand, I had finally left school.

Why create aggro? Young lads come here to suss out the stuff they reckon they need to know ref joining and enjoying our Corp. So why not take a day off and rethink your attitude.

Yes Dave. I've seen your comments ref people on this site over on Tony L's site. I'm on Tony's site with the same name as on here to wit: Artist, ditto Sneaky Beaky and a fair few others Bootnecks who use both forums.

So why not please give it rest. OK?

Artist

Aggro!!! I love it when it comes down to fools giving me grief.

adidev wrote:Aggro!!! I love it when it comes down to fools giving me grief.

Thats it then is it? To you a bunch of Bootnecks quite a few with over 20 years in the Corp under their belts are Fools because they have disagreed with your views on a certain subject.

Typical attitude of a person with a big chip on his shoulder. I don't think I'm going to bother replying to any more of your posts. Whats the point.

Artist

Adidev ..... you are the latest in a long line of anti social, corruptive planks. How long before Harry Aitch, Frank S or Wholley bin you?

The sooner, the better in my humble opinion. :lilangel:

I might have different opinions to folk on here but there is mutual respect.

You know bog all about me but have chosen to be rude and insulting about me when replying to Artist.

When you have something intelligent and incisive to challenge me about give me a shout.

And never, ever insult my good friend, Sneaky Beaky. I would crawl over broken glass for that man!

I sugggest you shut the fark up.

Respectfully (ho ho)

Jayne

There's Marines and then there are Marines.

Feel free to qualify your last in any way you see fit, but all you currrently submit are inarticulate ramblings.

adidev wrote:Aggro!!! I love it when it comes down to fools giving me grief.

There's no fool like the one who can't look in the mirror and recognize himself.

So ALL RM officers were useless?

OK Big Boy, tell me what you think about:

RAM Seeger, OIC 6 Section in Singers in the late 60s;

Capt Jim Goldsworthy Coy Cmdr in '42 at the same time;

Lt Fraser Hughes;

Maj Jim Taffinder;

Capt David Anthony Somerset Pennefather [OK, I'll give you he could be a plonker sometimes but, basically, he was a top bloke -Oh, and I think he ended up Major General]

Capt Nick Vaux - Quite a tw*t as an Adjutant but he was a good officer despite the grief he dished out - not that we deserved it, mind

I could go on - and on - and on..........

OK, there were some tos**rs. But your totally immature post, which tarred all officers with the same brush is patently a load of crap.

So my 'forum name' says something about my intelligence? Fair enough.

And 'adidev' is???

A spelling mistake perhaps?

Anyway, tosspot, you've heard the views of many people who've served in the Corps as long, and far longer than me. Some have physical (and mental) scars far worse than mine.

AND YOU STILL PERSIST?

You're clearly in need of help. I suggest you seek it urgently. I can quite honestly see you descending to a point of despair that you'll consider topping yourself.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

Get help - or at least go and post on another forum.

Keep up the rant its great hearing all of your descriptions of what I am, and what I suffer from. It does makes me realise that there are depths to me that I have yet to plumb.Also folks I especially enjoy your emoticons they make up for so much that you have left unsaid.Oh yes flighty if you are going to have a crack at me in Union Strassa talk ,you had better learn some much more choice sayings from your fella than what you have said so far.
That's the trouble when imitating people it never comes across true you have to really put a lot of effort into imitations to make them seem the real thing.
Now where did that subject about becoming a pig go.
I still stand by what I wrote 'you have a better life on the mess deck than you will ever have as a pig' this amazing statement of littlegreen of locking up the officers mess and them having a wonderful time that evokes thoughts of Masons locking up their lodge and them having a good old knees up inside ,all secret squirrel like.
If you want to join the military join the OZ army they treat their military good and look after them the Oz people are pretty proud of them and then if you think that you are up to it join the SAS or something like that that's if you are up for bang bangs and things.
Defending little Britain seems a useless exercise your orders for engaging an enemy are so messed up by a crap government that you never know when you will be done for murder or not if you zap someone, the wars that the British forces fight at the moment seem to be more dictated by American foreign policy rather than what is best for Britain.And then god look at Britain its full up chock with people , the population are pulling them selves to pieces with frustration at how daily life is there laws taxes migrant bashing getting drunk and wasted seems to be the order of the day. Just been back there for a visit what a mess of a place dog eat dog seems the order of the day.My lovely England of the past seems to be far gone.

Sisyphus having weighed up the posts in reply to my spade is a spade post you have won the funniest reply award.
Sorry if you are a wee bit scarred but then weren't we all who served ,you just deal with it.
Wish littlegreen on his evangelical recruitment drive would mention to prospective recruits that you can get pretty smacked up both physically and mentally whilst doing your time, and then you get sweet F/A help that is unless you chase it up, and even then its very grudgingly given approval by useless nobbers of clerks of the works.
Nah I am not embittered about anything that I can think of but I am sure that if I keep reading these epistles posted to me I will find something to be embittered about.
Whoops nearly forgot, flighty aren't you the one who tried to crash onto the once a marine site and was told politely told that you were not wanted or was that some other party?
Dam' the sun is shining I will have to leap myself away from this hot thread promised the grandson we would go out dragging for scallops, so its away to the wharf check gas and battery throw a few tinnies and scran into the boat and away.
Bye all.

After reading this thread, I've read all your posts, adidev. Seemed to me you made some valid points, yet the way you put them across also seemed designed to challenge.
Does the quote above indicate that perhaps Sysiphus also does have a point in his last paragraphs at least?
I can't really tell whether you attempt to challenge out of negativity or to make people think hard about what you're trying to say.
But there are also some contradictions there: you prefer the company of Marines to that of officers whom you seem to paint as elitist, yet at the same time you appear to look down on Reserves. If you see the class system as the problem, why this view?
As I hope you can see this isn't a "rant" against you. I don't know you.
Some posts here have been designed to be personal and bilious.
And perhaps this isn't the proper venue to ask these questions of you.
But While it is true I don't know you, you also know very little of Flighty, for one.

I agree with that feeling and then this:

adidev wrote: My lovely England of the past seems to be far gone.

But here you may disagree with me: many people still make this Great Britain, and a good few of them are members here.
After all really, why would you be a member if you think otherwise?
