Nice one- was it your troop who were put onto Dirty Recruit?, because there was a troop after one of the commando tests who had a minor thing wrong with there admin or something. Looks like I'll be on dirty recruit a lot by my DL. Anways well done.

Stinky you are a idiot, you turned up for a PJFT when you couldnt run 2km, decided to drink Lucozade despite the fact that you "have had a bad history with it. It even got me fired from my old job" and now your saying things like that.
I reserved judgement before but to be honest you clearly have s**t for brains and if by some miracle you do get in im sure it wont take too long before a serious attitude adjustment is provided by one of my countrymen.
Grow up you little prick :evil:

Dont worry Digital,

I seriously doubt anyone who is uncapable of running a mile and a half on a treadmill will earn a green beret :roll:

Well you're in for a shock then. When/if you ever get into basic training you'll find people from all over the country - we had a load of Royal Regiment of Wales lads in with us and they were all a good laugh. You have to help each other. And as the other lad says on this forum if you have something bad to say about the jocks then god help you they are everywhere in the services :wink:
