As there are a few guys here in various military (or nearly!) outfits thought you might find this as funny as i did at work today!

Nice one :rofl: :rofl:

lol, i know someone in the RAF he'd love this :rofl:

roflmao...loving it...of course matelots always win over bootnecks and pansys

Haha so true!! My step brothers in the RAF, I'm going to send it to him.

The army's your mother now!

Winston Churchill said about the Navy "It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash".....he was a wise man indeed...

roflmao...loving it...of course matelots always win over bootnecks and pansys

Oi! go polish your ship.

Damn right!!! :rofl: :rofl:

now now bootys , envy is a terrible emotion

LOL im in the RAF and am grossly offended! I wish what you wrote was true but its not even close mate we have just recently come back from a 3 week detachment to Gibraltar. Bunking in 8 man rooms with bunk beds with no aircon in rocketing heat!, with just a fan in the centre of the room that doesnt work and keeps u up all night because the bearings are fooked! Showers that dont work in a bathroom infested with cockroaches! Far from your 5* picnic that was maybe once true 60 years ago! :)

 

Just you wait Geekyhawkes till we meet on PGR3!!! :)
