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.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.
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.

He`s only been here a wee while himself.
I`m sure he means well.

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?

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?

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..

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.
