Number 1) I was in the royal marines
Number 2) Saying that nimbard here is actually planning on joining this regiment
Number 3) Whatever, will be soon joining the regiment myself

Okay, here's my problem, nubmer 2 is apparently this chimps brother, saying that the chimp, that being Nimbard is joining RAF Reg. In number 3, apparently it is the chimps brother who is joining and not Nimbard himself. I smell freshly, half baked porkys.

If you're brother sees the Regiment as such a piece of piss then why would he want to lower himself to it.

this is the brother again, to answer your questions. I am thinking of joining the regiment despite seeing how easy it is because 1. I will piss through it, 2. my condition wont allow me to be in the royal marines. And as for, you wont get far with that attitude, do you really think i will go there shouting, this is easy im so good? No, will use my position to help my oppos. And as for "i hope you get some humble pie", bootneck WANNABE, I've already had more than you can imagine and would never contemplate joining the marines with that attitude but we're not talkin marines are we. we're talkin airstrip security guards.

Nimbard's Brother,

Don't bother applying to join the RAF Regt. You sound like a right arse, making you precisely not the person we want in our regiment. You claim to be an ex-RM. I suspect you never completed your basic RM training. Please correct me if this is untrue. If true, your chances of passing the 'easy (in your opinion)' RAF Regt basic training are probably very slim too.

If you think that the RAF Regt are 'airstrip security guards', you are in for a big shock. Instead of applying for something which you clearly regard as second best, maybe you should concentrate on reading your issues of 'Combat & Survival' and playing war games on your Playstation.

Please, I beg you, don't join the RAF Regt, inflict yourself on some other unfortunate unit.

You tell him Sticky, the guy seems a fool anyway. Especially due to the fact that, serving Royals have said the RAF Reg. aren't a bad bunch of blokes & have some good soldiering skills.

Quite a few of the course staff have transfered from the RM and maintain the very high standards of RM and Regt so if you think you will have it easy think again.... besides us recruits will fill you in if you maintain your 'attitude' on course.
By the way my mate 'hayes' on course (ex royal 2years) says "its no bimble"... I agree with him.

compartment syndrome
Whats that then, Nimbard?
It's where you muscle outgrows the muscle sheath causing compression and reducing blood flow. It is most common in the calf muscles (which is where I have it). When I run, I find that my calves cramp up after 2-3 miles. I can run through this, but shortly afterwards my feet go numb. Within a few more miles by achilles tendons seem to 'lock up' and I have to run with my feet pointed outwards like a bleedin duck!

It can be corrected through surgery, although this means they'll cut into your calf and split the muscle sheath from top to bottom (it then regrows around the muscle). Apparantly, there is a keyhole surgery method that causes less scarring, but you'll still be on crutches for a while.

Plonker. Only a fantasy merchant would talk like that. :roll:
