gonetoearth 5,144 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 dont really think this a thread for jokes of any kind......... RIP the men who died......... Nobody is joking about the lads that died or fell ill. Not sure what harm a few ex squaddies having a crack about their service is doing? It's sort of the British way I thought. its definitely the military way . Is right palo and famous for it. Twisted humour Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I remember patrolling down a wooded hill in Kosovo when we came under contact ... As we took cover one of the lads tripped and went head overs tits down the hill ... Arms and legs flying all over the place his kit coming apart off him and being scattered all over the hill until he ended up in a shit pit full of pig muck ... Fukc me we were all laughing so much that we couldn't return fire for about 2 minuets lol .......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What did you do with your dogs when you were in the army socks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Kept dogs and hunted all through my army career mate ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Kept dogs and hunted all through my army career mate ..... If you don't mind me asking Sock, how? I always thought that a career as a soldier would leave you with no way of keeping dogs unless you had a family to look after them for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's correct mate ... As a junior rank you couldn't keep a dog if you were living in single accommodation .. When you get to the ranks of senior nco you can keep a dog in themes accommodation ... However I was married before joining the army so lived in married quarters ... When I was away on exercise or courses or tours then the missus, kids, parents hunting mates looked after the dogs and ferrets ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair doos, I seriously considered Sandhurst when leaving Uni but thought it would mean having to pretty much give up any dreams of living a reasonable hunting life for at least 10-15 years. What you said then made me wonder if I had made the right choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
