My first answer to this thread was a bit derogatory so I supposed I should clean it a bit.

Anyways.

Supatanker. Maybe you should keep your mouth closed about stuff you have no knowledge about?

Instead of 'correcting' a former SBS soldier about the way the SBS operates.

Quick question for ye, how likely is it that a bloke who'd lopped a finger off be accepted for RM training? Just wondering, I haven't lost a finger yet but there's quite a higher than normal risk of losing a finger where I work. I'm not planning on chopping one off, but if it did happen and it was ...

Ive been told by my mother (avid dog lover) that any white in a dogs feacese (sp?) is a sign of a worm infestation.

As for completely white. Ive never seen that in my life.

To answer this I need to know a bit more. When they strike the armed forces take responsibility for fire fighting dont they? Are the Armed forces as effective or not? Because firefighters deserve a way to show resistance to unpopular changes or conditions. That is true. But if people die that wouldn...

I wonder who voted no..? My opinions pretty much worthless because I havent experienced it firsthand but I agree with beasting for all the reasons stated by doc and others. Will beasting also go someway to stopping people disobaying orders? I would have thpught so but doc didn't mention it. Although...

I can get that without enlisting though...

So HC what your saying is you'd prefer to be shot than punched :o Shot by a bb gun yes, but otherwise no lol In the kinnetics of injury, velocity is more important than mass. Kinnetics of injury between a knife stab and being shot are totally different and cant just be debated on mass over velocity...

Kickass, you clearly know all about this then :D I can see the knife example, though I suspect you've missed out the effect surface area has: ie only the tip of a knife has a small surface area, so while that may penetrate the vest, it isn't going to go very far as an ever increasing surface area o...

Also HC, various types of material used in bulletproof vests are actually quite soft, but harden on impact (there's a physics / chemistry term for this, but I can't remember it :-? viscosity, possibly?); essentially the material transfers the energy of the moving object which strikes it at one poin...

PS On most of the lists of most dangerous professions in the world that I've seen, pretty much top comes truck drivers, long-haul delivery drivers, motorcycle delivery types. If they wear stab proof armor how are there so many stab injuries. . Iv'e done both and my wife still doe's one. I do the ot...

I decided to run in my boots without socks a couple of days ago, cant remember why Hmm. I think I know. hc: Give yerself a slap, shake yer pointy wee head and pay attanetion. Doing stupid stuff is part of the groing up process (funny how "groin" is in "groing") - the brain appar...

PS On most of the lists of most dangerous professions in the world that I've seen, pretty much top comes truck drivers, long-haul delivery drivers, motorcycle delivery types.
