Perhaps The Army Should Be More Careful Who They Allow In Their 'men's' Army?

/// Oh come off it AOG as soon as you learnt that I was born abroad and could not speak English you jumped to conclusions - it was plain to see as the nose on your face - several members have also commented on it!! ///

Before coming out with your false accusations, please provide the proof.

/// As for you being top of my hate list - I don't have a hate list! ///

Then be more specific, what list were you referring to, when you put?

/// But don't worry your always top of my list! ///

[Islay]

I will let you continue guessing that one!

Thank you buddy, but you are wasting your time with Islay, she is fast becoming AnswerBank's number one, name calling antagoniser.

[Islay]

I would have to beat you then as your are up there on the top AOG!!

Article from 7 years ago, why have the Army not sorted this out?

[ChillDoubt]

Absolutely brilliant news! I'm off to see a solicitor tomorrow because during exercise in Sennybridge in 1984 I absolutely froze my t**$ off whilst digging a fire trench, mid November.

Joking aside, I really do despair at times at the calibre of some of the potential recruits that presently join HM Forces. There's all too often a distinct lack of moral fibre but particularly so in this case. One tip we were given prior to exercise in the Beacons was to take a pair of ladies tights for warmth.
They certainly did the trick, but chafed a little when we had to 'bug out', but hey-ho, I'd joined the British Army as an infantry soldier, not the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corps......

Randy, as you say it's been known about for some time and experts agree - but as we've read here ex service personnel of AB don't seem to think NFCI is much of an issue.

NB

I refer to the general topic, not this soldier in particular.

£200,0000 ???? where did he get that number ? Does he mean £200, 00,00 or £2000.000.

He's better getting out, that rubbish the British Army can do without.

Should be thrown out, not discussed, what did this bloke expect a Hotel for the night with a Electric blanket? if this case is even taken to court does that mean the person's in the Navy have a claim? the air force? what a load of bull Sh, America's open policy, Sue Sue Sue
