    Oi you! I've seen my fare share of fat knacker paras in my time... ok, they could all out run me on flat and hill, but at least I could see my willie without the aid of a mirror or the reflection of it in my fellow motarman's eye!

    Good point, well put, Sir!

    Can anyone identify a unit where a tp/pl Sgt has a pie munching chockie muncher SSM/CSM and a pie munching chockie muncher RSM to and a Commanding Office with an over acted sweet tooth that it is therefore so lacking in the basics of military fitness and disciplin that it is alomost RAFesque?

    I've been at units where at least two of the above were abit on the lardy side.
    Oh how we laughed on COs PT when the RSM told us he wanted no slacking and everyone to put in the effort before he disapeared on to biff PT. Also use to get a chuckle when the downgraded seniors were mad keen for battle camp only when there was any physical activity they were just mad keen for everyone else to do it.

    I shit you not when I say there was a Sgt at my last unit who was so fat you could not see his regimental belt (from the front, side or back). I've already mentioned the Sgt who is so fat she can't tuck her shirt in, yet can play golf. It might be explainable if they where injured while they were at that rank instead of when they were toms.

    Not that this is a dig at SNCOs there are plenty of fat biff juniors as well. Its just more understandable why nothing gets done about it.

    Perhaps the solution would be a policy where fatties are told its lose it in 3 months and get fit or take 9 months holding ground somewhere hot a sandy. No patrolling, just an a/c gym and stag on at key ponts, soldier first and all that!

    Soldier first? You do realise alot of biff chits exempt ranges? Some people have never fired as SA80(2) in their career.

    What would be a better policy is to give fatty directions to the job centre, then watch the horde of other tubby fuckers suddenly discovering their injury isn't so bad as all.
    While I understand people might put on some weight when they get injured I fail to see how people allow themselves to hit the morbidly obese mark, unless they are just bone idle.
