Thread: Ground attack aircraft

I'm socialising in my spare time. Is there a law against that?......I can honestly say that everything I say here I would gladly say to your face....I seriously doubt that to be true of others on here..Who hide behind a uniform and use their status as a means of abuse......You for instance have a bad tendency to talk down at people. In the real world we talk to each other in a civil manner. This has nothing to do with a uniform, its just common decency. All I have, as with everybody else on here is an opinion. I don't lecture and I certainly don't think I know everything. But I'm not going to say nothing when you are belittling a fellow member and don't deny you weren't because you were!

No youre not, and you didnt offended me... so you can save your self righteous nonsense of an apology, it doesn't wash with me.... I dont need it, nor do I want it. I wasnt responding to people who had never served in combat, my response was to you. You found it necessary to pull out the dictionary and nitpick because I made a valid point. You can mask your attitude with the guise of "I try and help future Soldiers" I see it as a useful tool for you to obtain self gratification. Gven your mentality and your attempt to be condescending to a fellow NCO I wouldnt want your obnoxious and snobby arse around any new recruit or around my section ( apart from the time needed). I will remember next time me and my lads get caught up in a firefight or an ambush the terms "Danger close" and "incoming" should not be used out of context and we should all be gathered so we can understand the correct usage. If you think combat units do not use those terms as a description you are so withdrawn its silly.

All training is set up as a scenario, a scenario that should be entered and treated as the 'real' thing. Well yes, it was the real world and a serious occurrence....and that was my original point, so Im glad you see that and we agree one thing, good lad, given that was my point anyway. Well done Sarge.

You are ignoring the evidence that there was no disrespect of training rounds - this was a case of an inadvertent release, pure and simple. If you have spent any time at all on rifle or pistol ranges, you have seen at least one inadvertent discharge. This does not change the responsibility for the one who fires the round - but if people on a rifle line have NDs, how much more likely is the same occurence to happen when you're simultaneously flying an aircraft, orienting yourself in three dimensions, and doing so in darkness???

No, dont ignore it. It a was genuine and honest remark that wasnt a backhanded poorly disguised dig from someone who doesnt find it clever using so called intellect to disguise their lack of balls to call a spade a spade( balls, you remember them?) Im not "ignoring" the fact of training rounds, come on....Im viewing them as live rounds and understanding the consequences.( my whole point from the get go)

There you go again, this time youre questioning my time on "ranges" We get our times in and we deal with two way ranges..I wont call enemy fire incoming now though LOL.We know our drills and our standards in combat have proved that, we dont need a mickey mouse certifications to prove we can do our jobs while someone else can flick through a dictionary.

Also, if you would correct my use of caps for emphasis, perhaps you should first correct your own wrong grammar - it is properly 'would have' and not your own erroneous 'would of'. Lastly, please do not address me as 'Staff', as that is neither my rank nor position. Good evening, Sir!

Negative, you come here to try and flaunt your so called intelligence with arrogance and with a condescending manner. Luckily most people can spot your type a mile off and we can prepare ourselves for the torrent of horshite that comes with the personality type, we all roll our eyes until you jog on lol. No need to Sir me.....I work for a living. So skip along Dorothy, youre boring.Out.

I've just had a thought.........it could be a mid life crisis! It happens to the older end as the reality dawns that their best days are behind them. They get all tetchy and can't see the wood for the trees kinda thing and before you know it they're entering dick measuring contests and jumping over walls ..sad really but I'm sure he'll pull through. Light is always to be found at the end of the tunnel!.......

Ps I'm free on Fridays about 7pm in the Bay Mare Hotel and Country club. Its free counselling, but you get the beers in.

You got this far in life, behaving like a five year old ..How does that work?
