Well between me, you and the £1 billion the treasury is trying to reclaim
from the defence budget by the end of this financial year....no major budget
reviews! Not to worry though, because us servicemen wont have any fuel to
play in our ships, tanks and aircraft, and because we wont have any
stationary or travel expenses to do paperwork or have meetings, we will
still endevour to meet all of the taxpayers defence requirements! Yeah
right! - or alternatively, we could all jack it in now and claim the dole -
Ooops sorry, I cant do that - Im not an Immigrant, lesbian, coloured, single
parent, lazy bastard who doesnt want to work etc etc

Probably because the recruitment rate for the SAS is at an all time low, so
they've started recruiting americans, germans & swedes.

would you re-enlist though :)


actually, would the Army take ya?

I heard disturbing stuff recently where
it's claimed MOD would rather source
17 yr olds rather than re-enlist 30 yr olds

Now, *that's* a craazy world

Being over 40 I don't think they would have me. And after watching the
programme I think I have far more attitude than some of the Recruits. And
the money can't be any better now. And I don't work for Love anymore :)
Why the Army ?

Now - I _know_ how the Paras _love_ the Cabbages so just take this lightly,
please.

But you know how when Police Recruiting numbers were down they started
advertising in Gay Mags (Before you ask - NO. I saw a news report about it
on TV (-;)

Just wondering - er, you know that last scene of the Commando programme -
the bit when they get drunk and naked?

Was that a devious ploy to advertise to the "pink pound" lot, now that they
can join legally?

LOL [this means I was joking]
