HCR, I reckon anyone is welcome here, Bootnecks are a friendly bunch. But I'm curious as to why you came. What's your service history ? Just a general outline.

No probs. Ive been in the Army around 10 years. Served in Bosnia, NI and was on OPTELIC 1 and am about to deploy to Hellmand after your boys at 42 and the Royal Engineers have got the place ready.

Why did I choose to post my first one on the RM forum you might ask. Well i was trawling the site came across this conversation and thought I would sign up to give my pennys worth.

Ref that footage of those Royal Engineers getting stuck in the mud. I think they were set up by your boys there.

Was it, well goes to show what I know. I first saw it on my Instructors when one of the staff showed it us on Power Point. He thought it was the RE.

adj125 dont take me the wrong way, im not arguing with you. If you say its the RA then I believe you. Someone told me it was the RE.

sorry that this will seem an idiotic quesion but im new to the whole RM lingo, what are pongos if any would be good enough to tell me?

harry hackedoff · Post by **harry hackedoff** » Sat 08 Apr, 2006 4:58 pm

Is your name Bud and do you have a bessy oppo called Allen?
Thought not.

A pongo is a small furry creature which scuttles about in the bilges

Any the wiser now, are we?
Thought not

It is named after a commonly held belief amonst Jack and Royal that "Where the Army goes, the ugly women follow"
And a bloody good thing, too, if you ask me, what

Never used the word meself , prefer the far more user-friendly "Perce"

What about yourself big feller, how come you`re calling yerself Pte?

Pvt. Flanagan · Post by **Pvt. Flanagan** » Sat 08 Apr, 2006 6:22 pm

its a stupid name i know basically its because i thought that was the abbreviation of private, of course its not its pte. so my username should read pte.flanagan but its too late to change that.

I think Harry's point was that you're a student, not the spelling of the abbreviation..

Pvt. Flanagan · Post by **Pvt. Flanagan** » Sun 09 Apr, 2006 1:51 am

ahh yes i am a student but i am also a member of the Irish army reserve hence private since that is my rank and will be for the foreseable future

Fair one, I'll be shutting up then.

no worries mate i know theres nothing more infuriating than lads that claim to be soldiers, marines etc when they are themselves neither.
