Re: why is there always a royal marine?

I've never been in the army but the marshal at our site had.. Not going to name names but a guy turns up in a green beret one time with all the trimmings. I was like yeah. Looking good fella. Turns out his hole day of saying he was in the marines was a fake. The marshal found out it was his dad or some family member who had served and he was making it up..

It really pisses me off why lie? Maybe it turns them on -.- . I went to a festival this year and took my multicam smock incase the weather went crazy. When I wore it people asked what regiment but I said I'm just an airsofter with a multicam jacket and its cold.
Some people couldent work out why I would pay for a multicam smock wile its there job to wear one since there regular army. One guy and all his 7 mates couldent work out why I buy multicam and play airsoft when they do it and get paid... That I can't really answer other than I needed some excitement in my life.

So you dont have any other waterproof jacket/coat? Come on! Call me cynical but you wear a multican smock (which, to the average person looks like the new camo) and expect people not to comment? You clearly knew it would get a reaction. It's a bit like those people who "forget" to take off drop legs etc after a game then pop into McDonald's after and think the girls will love it.

Anyone else ex-Royal Air Force. Me and my mate were players of war we don't usually play there anyways. this guy was sitting on top of a picnic bench telling these dipsticks who believed him. he told us he was in the us airforce and was involved in the Gulf War operation package Q he told carried on boasting about how he shot down five aircraft.
So using my test I asked him what aircraft he had flewn he told me EF-111
(Test 1 failed) The EF-111s were used as air to surface so people that means he flew a bomber which in its history has only shot down one other aircraft however this maverick manages to shoot down 5 .
I then feeling the need to embarrass this guy more i asked what he thought about the AMXD (what pilots piss in mid mission) he replied yeah it's not bad but I prefer to use the sidewinder (a f**ckin missile) Inside I was about to scream out at him but and transferred it into laughter he was like what and I explained to everyone all the bs he had told.

Technically the EF111 was an electronic warfare plane and unarmed - isn't google great!
Don't have to be RAF to know that.

Yeah only 1 airborne victory

Those who truly have been in the forces ( Para's, SAS etc. ) will not talk about it. Unless they know you personally and then not talk too much about it, they certainly won't brag and B.S. So if someone is, just smile, roll your eyes and walk away. They soon stop pretending.

What always makes me laugh is the way these idiots look so serious when telling their porkies, then when you see the life pour out of them when ousted. Last year my uncle (ex-forces - 60 now) was with me, some idiot was whining on and on about his regiment, so my uncle said do you remember that colonel's daughter, "wing nut", the bloke eventually walked out mumbling and we all laughed.

Of course, I had it tough on my tour to Basra, this one time, the Americans didn't bring us any of that strawberry fanta or flavoured coffee compliment sachets with the trays of muffins. It was hard going, didn't think we were going to make it through till lunch time. I called in some ground support, and the lads came good. The fanta wasn't too cold, but it was effective.
Don't like to talk about it much though.

You should have called in the seal's, they have plenty of puppy fat, slowly stewed they make a great broth.

Basra could be fun now and again. this is an accommodation block hit with a 122mm rocket. 5 mates inside and all just minor injuries. I was lucky as i was 6 meters from the blast and my kevlar t shirt, shorts and flip flops saved me.


As for walts I've only met one. He was a yank and served in the US marines but left because of bad knees (probably from carrying around his huge belly).

Hang about?

That's just a picture of my shed! Yes, it's a little "Unkempt" but to suggest it's like a war zone? Come on! I promised the wife I'd tidy it up when the kids go back to school.

Re: why is there always a royal marine?



you see that metal, round thing at the right hand side of the picture? that was a boiler which exploded throwing scalding hot water everywhere as well. Luckily most of it missed everyone and it even failed to extinguish the fire that had started.

The funny thing was after the rocket struck the AEGIS medics were first on the scene and quickly treated the guys before bundling them into an armoured wagon and taking them to the med centre for further treatment. after everyone had left for the med centre the military eventually turned up, flashing blue lights and all, to treat the wounded and deal with the aftermath. The lead guy says to me "don't worry, we are hear and we'll sort it out. Where are the wounded?"

"Yeah mate sorry but we've got them all in hospital already and put out the fire, there's not a lot left for you guys to do..."

Any chance renting your shed ?
