The Difference Between The Services

[Anglesachse]

I say we get an inter service team- Aussie, Brits, Canadians, American - All branches all services welcome we'll be called the Warriors and then we'll do a world tour-first the NFL, then XFL then Soccer, Then Rugby - We'll kick some civilian ass and then drink and laugh about it-

I can remember playing American Football in the gulf against one of the local Yank units. god did we get a kicking.

A few weeks later we then asked them to play Rugby. :whistling:. still can`t understand to this day why they refused to play us. Something was mentioned along the lines of "only if we can wear our armour and helmets" "Nope. I don`t think so" was all they got as a reply. LMFAO

Yep, the yanks always thought the aussies and the pommies were crazy for not wearing any real body armor or no head protection.

My boy plays rugby league. 14 years old, 6 foot tall and weighs in at 80 kg

 

[Anglesachse]

6foot and 80kgs, got to be a a winger or outside centre at that size, that is friggin huge for a 14 year old.

Never liked League myself, to much stop and go. I played Union from 6 till 32, school, county, regiment, and then town here in Germany. real funny fielding a German town team of 13 ex British squaddies, realy had to tune our playing down though as the local clubs used to complain and refuse to play us LMAO, even the few Germans we had in the team would complain in training we were being to hard ROFLMAO realy miss playing these days, but the back won`t take it any more.

Played a local match here against a team from Dortmund, 12 Irish guys they had in their team. by halftime the German players on both side had willingly left the pitch, so we could play real rugby :roflmao:

 

[Jimmy1]

They put him in as a forward to start and he used to just pick the kids up and sling them to the ground.

Now he is learning how to play wing.

Nothing like a F Rush.

 

[Fargo1]

Hey now not all us Yanks are scared of Rugby! But then again my mum is from Wales so maybe the 'Old Country' crazy is still there. LMAO.

 

[Anglesachse]

Pity the Taffs lost to the bloody Frogs on Sat. But here`s to the them beating the Wallabies on the 21st.

 

[Jimmy1]

Up yours mate. The All Blacks got us anyway.

But we killed the Kiwi's in the Four Nations Rugby League

Just for fun!

Of all the Services, the Air Force has the most intelligent enlisted people. This is not just theory; it's provable fact.

Take the Army. When the stuff hits the fan, the young Army private wakes up to the bellowing of his First Sergeant. He grabs his BDUs out of his foot locker, dresses, runs to the chow-hall for breakfast on the fly, then jumps in his tank. Pretty soon, the company commander, a captain, arrives, gives him a big salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, soldier!"

Now take the Navy. When the stuff hits the fan, the young Sailor is eating breakfast in the mess. He hustles the 20 feet to his battle station, stuffing extra pastries in his pocket as he goes. There he sits, in the middle of a big, steel target, with nowhere to run, when the Captain comes on the 1MC and says, "Give 'em Hell, Sailors! I salute you!"

Now take the Marines. When the stuff hits the fan, the young Marine is kicked out of bed by his First Sergeant and puts on the muddy set of BDUs he was wearing on the field exercise he was part of three hours earlier. He gets no breakfast, but is told to feel free to chew on his boots. He runs out and forms up with his rifle. Pretty soon, his company commander, a captain, comes out, gives the Marine a sharp salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, Marine!"

And then there's the Air Force. When the s*** hits the fan, the Airman receives a phone call at his off-base quarters. He gets up, showers,shaves, and puts on the fresh uniform he picked up from the BX cleaners the day before. He jumps in his car and cruises through the McDonalds drive-thru for an Egg McMuffin and Coca-Cola on his way into work. Once at work, he signs in on the duty roster. He proceeds to his F-15, spends 30 minutes pre-flighting it, and signs off the forms. Pretty soon the pilot, a young captain arrives, straps into the jet, and starts the engines. Our young Airman stands at attention, gives the aviator a sharp salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, Captain!"

 

[Anglesachse]

I could kill an Eggand Bacon McMuffin right now

When I was a young fellow, one of my roles was as the BALO's (Brigade Air Liaison Officer) signalman. We used to trek around to view the target area, then the spotter planes (Wingeal's I think) used to come in and mark the target with smoke, then we waited for the fast movers. It was usually a long wait as they probably ordered a quarter pounder instead. Arseholes

The U.S may be seeing the light. while stationed in georgia a lot of guy that didn't make the colledge cut started city rugby leagues and they are pretty bruttle. Probably not up to par yet but they are working on it soon we will get an all alied league and think of all the beer that will be drank. Invest months before the tounement. Where ever the sport starrted will be the first match all the way down to the last no boards or folks to f it up just ball no stikes no hudge saleries enough to get by just a real sport played for heart not money.
