What has happened to the world that Squaddies can`t be sqauddies anymore.

Some people have no sense of humour.

Yeah, really. If you can't do something that you can be really embarrassed about the next morning, what's the point.

This world is just too pc for me anymore. And you're right Steve, no one has a sense of humor anymore.

What is with marines and para's with pissing on random people or places when leathered? My mate Ed used to do it all the time. Stood at the bar, next thing he's pissed on your leg and up the bar.

Or out of the blue, he hands you a pint and says, "try this, New cider"....I was drunk and couldn't tell it was warm until I drank it. He avoided me for the rest of the night.

Not only marines but engineers with it. Unavoidable, really...............

you kids sure know how to play. We used to pour beer onto tables and slide along them. And large amounts of bar fights. We would go into a bar just to fight. Sigh. The good old days.

We used to take on the navy. Good lads too. Well up for a scrap.

Obviously the locals had some too, the ones that wanted it that is. Always a contingency of locals who will have a pop. We screwed their chicks that's why!

And I was at a medic unit, f*ck knows what you lot got up to.

Christmas is when I miss the green machine.

"The local economy benefits from all the soldiers" Well you can't have it both ways. When we made ports-of-call there was a list of the places you could and couldn't go. Some of these were renown for bad things being done to sailors when drunk (being rolled, fights, etc), some were off limits because of the bad things we sailors did to the locals (being too rude, crude, and rowdy)...then there were ALL of the others we could go to and blow off steam.

There was almost always a fight involved during liberty, resulting in the miscreant being fined and confined to the ship. There was the occasional getting out of hand (like tearing the TV projector off the ceiling) which brought in local constabulary, Shore Patrol, and the wrath of the command (loss o a stripe, monetary restitution, loss of pay, and being confined to the ship). But the ports always wanted us back — there's just too much money to be spent, taken, and stolen by the locals.

Over here we have our native aboriginals. We call them Gin's and they have been called that for centuries.

Of late they have tried to have a name of a creek changed from Yellow Gin Creek even though it was named after the alcohol.

The day Captain Cook landed in Australia they have decided to call 'Invasion Day'.

A famous footballer called Nigger Brown which he even called himself had a whole stand named after him when he was alive. It was called the ES "Nigger" Brown Stand. Now that he is dead they are trying to change it to the ES Brown stand.

We all had nicknames, we had guys with the names C#$t scratcher, Black C#$t, etc. Of course they are not allowed.

But Squadie???? aren't they part of a Squad????

Ha! Just watched a news story about a mercy hospital ship that was in a N. African port to help the unfortunate and they were talking about the crew complement, so many of these, so many of those and eight security officers...and I think, that's not enough...and then they said they were Gurkhas and I said oh yes it is.

I know a guy who hatted his name, every Parade, who ever was taking it would call him out.

"Hunt...........with a C"
"Present"

First 5 years in Green I was literaly only know as a number, we had a couple of us in the section with the same last name so I was 261. my last three. even down the pub or night club I used get called it by the guys.

We had a guy of South African origins we called Kaffa, an Itallian we call Wop, A Jock we Called Brumy? A taffy we called Jock? no one every realy knew why its just how it was.

And of course the usual Cfn Hedges aka Benson, Pte Irish aka Paddy, the biggest guy in the Unit aka Titch or Tiny and a good mixing of Spunky, Kit Kat, Dogga and what ever else came to mind and I`ll let you guys figure them ones out.

Ya see, this is why we sailors have a real problem with Marines of any stripe!

In this case, however, the soldiers began urinating on one of their party who had slumped drunkenly to the floor, splashing urine over the bar's furniture and other customers.

Out of respect to those around us we ONLY piss in our OWN pants!
