Getting Banned

[Ani]

Goin to bed now...time to wrestle another one to the ground...

That is what the soldiers get now. They are even allowed their mobile phones to call home once a week if they behave. They get 10 minutes and have to stand outside at attention. The thing that has changed though, is that if they smoke they have to stand outside at attention and the Corporal lights it. hahahaha. At least I was allowed to smoke in my room in the 80's. Only after hours though.

I have a Mate who is a Medic with the QDG. Kid comes into the MRS with a cut hand to see the medic.

Medic tells him go wash your f*cking hands and get rid of the grease and come back so I can have a proper look.

So the kid goes away, comes back 2hrs later with his troopy, who wants to know why the medic didin`t treat him.

Because I told him to wash the axle grease of his hands and come back, and I have been waiting 2hrs.

Why can`t you wash his hands?

Because Im a Medic and not a Nanny Sir!

FFS, we had to get dressed in No2`s to go sick, Made no f*cking difference if you broke an arm or a toe nail, and god forbid you didn`t have your bergan or day bag packed incase you had to stay overnight.

Respect, a word bandied about today and in this thread as well. Respect is best if earned and not given or felt like it's required just due to a self imposed title. Even if you do all the 'right' things not everyone is going to respect you and what you've done. It always works both ways. You can't get if you don't give it.This is life here and everywhere else as well.

If there is a divide here it's one that is perceived by those that believe there is one. It's like political parties; to each one they're right and the other is wrong.

I can only give my opinion of this place and the people here. I'm no different, no better, no less than, nor have I suffered more or any less than any other person here whether they've been here for years or weeks. Somewhere we seem to have forgotten that we're all vets, combat vets with PTSD. We come here looking for answers and help. I know it's hard enough to talk about these things without getting a hard time about it. Even if the is an inaccurate assumption on the part of the person posting something.

22 american vets are committing suicide everyday. Some of it is due to the fact that they find it so difficult to be able to communicate what the problems are that they are having. If we don't start to look at this place as an oasis in our lives and don't instead get divisive and play the blame game this place may not continue to exist. I can't and won't try to change anyone's ideas or mindsets. I'll only continue to try and change my own for myself.

I'll be here to try and help for as long as I can be effective in doing that. I hope that will be for some time to come.These are only my thoughts and opinions. That's all.

Just because you see a red flag doesn't mean you need to charge head long into it. Please remember this is a site for Combat Veterans. We should be here to seek help or offer it. If you are logging on to join a fight... well, your logging on for the wrong reasons.

Well said, Jar.

 

[Cafovo]

Where are the Ladies? Ya know, the ones that walk around in the ring in swimsuits with the round # held over their heads.

Oh all right, if I must.

And to add my 2 Rand (which is actually worth about 2 cents), I come here to get advice and learn from others and, to the best of my ability, give advice and help others myself. I have enough shit of my own, I don't want anyone else's, like Jar said. That's why I'm mostly staying away lately.

DING DING! Next round.

Thisis pointless. Can't we just crack on with how it was. As a newbie, I much preferred it a week ago.

 

[Ovoc]

That's how the guys who have been here a while feel. Things don't need to change. Why cant some of you understand this was a happy safe please for EVERYONE not that long ago.
This is a cycle as well it seems. some asshole comes in and acts like he owns the place and gets pushy. people push back. Either the guy settles down or goes away somehow. Mostly from being banned. then things around here seem to settle down again for a few months.
All most of us want is that peace and quiet we had.

 

[Mokati]

Yes!!! Just be clear what pissed so many off is the asshole (your word) this time is not new. He started this childish anonymous thread about wanting to get banned and bitch slapping people. He started the drama and other long timers called it out for what it was.

Jimmy walked because he is tired of dealing with that BS. So cut the shit, stop the DING DING next round crap and put up or shut up. We waited for you to flame out but your bluff was called. You won't do it because you just want attention. We're all done with this. So let's get back to what everyone wants, what Jimmy asked for, and what Anthony created this place to be.

 

[Limin]

That is not true, in fact it is a big distortion. Like I said, whoever you are you are bogus and a shit-stirrer.

It would seem that ya'll still don't get it. So here's a few facts. Things never return to that place you thought everything was wonderful at some point. Things only move forward. Things change for better or worse, get used to it. This isn't and has never been a 'good ole' boys club'. Stop blaming someone or anyone for the reasons ................................. (fill in the blank) Sometimes this place is like bully's on a playground trying to push people around to get they're own way. Grow up, give that up and move on already. Just an opinion but mine.

And please lock this f*ckin' thread already. :eek:
