Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?

Or is everyone* on hols or submerged?
* Yeah, I know there is still some chatter but it's way down on the baiting and banter of olden times.Lending tone, dash and colour to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
Real soldiers are now on Facebook following the example set by Para Golden.
There's no chip on my shoulder. I'll tell you what there is though, three pips and don't you forget it.

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
I thought it was just going through one of it's dull phases, though I have to admit, this phase seems longer than most.
"Hurrah for the Works Group" just doesn't have the same ring...
"A volunteer is worth ten pressed men."
So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).
I am a number. I am not a free man.

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
Perhaps all the subjects have been covered?
How many times does somebody start a thread, only to be told "You should have used the Search function - it's been discussed before.""Hurrah for the Works Group" just doesn't have the same ring...

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
Maybe there's actually no TA any more. Everyone's just off getting to know their families, being promoted at work, etc.
No one has been told because passage of info is, as per, shoyte.Lending tone, dash and colour to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Maybe they've all gone off to join this One Army lark.

*cough* Annual Camp season *uncough*
He had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
Perhaps there's a secret forum where everyone else has gone and it's just us lost boys.
Altogether now,...We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
Is there a war on somewhere that nobody's told me about? There's that thing in the Sahel which is a bit hush-hush ...
No! Don't tell me we've invaded France and somehow I was left off the invitation list!Lending tone, dash and colour to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
You mean to tell me that all those bods who witter on (like puttees) about what the TA was like back before the interlude when the Russians stopped being our enemy for a while, 58 pattern webbing, the SLR, ten-man compo, small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts, etc., etc., are actually cadets?

Re: Has everyone abandoned ARRSE for Facebook?
Sad to think that, as a member of the TA (i.e. not a cadet), I was still using 58 pattern webbing up until '97...
If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.
