Re: re

According to a highly accurate source, because of recruitment shortages they have wrapped on some asspects of corrective military training. This was the dit told to me by a WO1, same thing is happening in Para reg apparently, but not because of recruitment for it. Damnit why did we get all those lovely thrashings for what!
THinking about leaving already!

Nought wrong being nice to Nods.
We used to tuck them into bed at 2200hrs 24/7 without fail. If a Nod was a wee bit homesick and sucking his thumb it was not unknown for a Cpl to sit next to the Nods bed and read bedtime stories until they dropped off to Laa Laa Land. The Cpl would then creep out of the Grot trying very hard not to wake up the other occupants cos they needed their beauty sleep.
My Arse did we!!!! You worked your guts out and you did as you were told 24/7! I had to and countless other Nods had to. If it changes then as far as I'm concerned the standards are going down the tube. Their training to be Royal Marine Commandos not fecking Traffic Wardens for Christs Sake!!!

Standards falling, sign of the times. I would hope the RM would be an exception to this countries demise, pray that I am right.
Personally, I can't quite see the power of a duvet, what's wrong with a sheet?
Maybe soon they will bring in luxurious King size Beds, complete with Busty Blonde, and a San Fernando sized share of flavoured rubber.

Just another example of why the top brass and politicians have no idea on the proper way to solve a recruitment problem.
If numbers are low then why drop standards to get more people through training? Only negative things can come from it. Recruits will be less respected when joining a troop after passing out, our Marines will be less respected as a whole by the public and recruits will feel cheated if they feel they have had it easier than those who went before them.
Why not simply offer our boys what they deserve; more benefits for trained ranks, a wage they can actually live on and perhaps put a bit more effort into recruitment.
