So wait a minute, because I am disagreeing with something you post about us civvies, and I said I went for an army interview and was rejected back in 1990, that makes me a walt?

Why should I be called a Walt? I'm happy as I am. I don't want to join the army thank you.

Don't group me with the likes of Spour, Shortt and McIlwraith, I haven't pretended to be anything

You pretended to know about cement mixing.

You are a military reject and the first recorded Bob the Builder walt :D

:

your not happy though are you...you did want to join the army but just didnt make it and so you have had to settle for second best all your life, hence your attempt to get yourself in amongst it with the old and bold by joining and "contibuting" to an army themed website.

Suck it up and just accept that you can never be as good as us, but you can bask in our glow

You're just one step away from the precipice of Waltdom! You used your Dads and uncles military career to justify your own existence on this thread..Then proceeded to impress us all with your intellect, by informing us all that your career was curtailed by some officer, who was obviously jealous of your mega brain?...Don't come on here bleating about what might have been...Wind your neck in!!

An assumption that because they got a good report in their last job, they must be shit-hot and all-knowing in their new one despite this being their first exposure to the particular line of work.

I've met a fair few good ones, but for the most part I wouldn't trust them to do up their flies without holding a meeting first to ensure any blame gets spread.

Every time I hear one talking about 'mission statements' I want to beat them to death with a copy of TAM.

I remember thinking exactly that when I went into the army from civvy street. In fact, I still sometimes think that way.

Well I used my dad + uncle's military links to prove to the dipshits that I have respect for military people .... where did I mention their careers? Not that I'm supposed to talk about it, all hush hush

At the age of 17 when I went for my army interview I doubt my brain could be described as "mega" by any means. But nonetheless though, apparently still more advanced than yours.

But you're right. I really am upset that I never joined the army. I really curse myself doing that degree and working in an air-con'd office with fit secretaries.

As I'm 36 now, nay 37 in 2 months, can I still join up and show the army what they have been missing?

:D

Wait wait wait. I would not have joined in were it not for the depraved attacks on us civvies.

Don't get me wrong, there are some utter cnuts of managers out there and complete arseholes, but to tar all us civvies with the same brush and act superior while doing so.... I am sure you are on a "wah" as you say

Bask in your glow? Can I have your autograph please

**dogmeat** · 23-06-2009, 18:38

We are superior. You, on the other hand, have been tested and found wanting.

Sure, if we make it to the end of our service we go back to civvy street and try to pass ourselves off as mere mortals, but whatever we may say, never imagine you could be considered our equal.

Finally, just before you go off on one, consider this: Mike Golden got further than you.

Stings, doesn't it?

**Walthamstow** · 23-06-2009, 19:29

Hang on boys, I think I can sum this all up for you.....

1. All soldiers good

2. All civvies bad

3. All civvies wish they were/had been soldiers.

4. All civvie managers child abusing mongs.

5. Don't tell the civvies you start on Â£16k with no O/T.

Simple really

Squaddies are only superior when it comes to drinking each others' pish and running naked down streets for bets. I bow to your superior skills there. Apart from that you are on par with us civvies in most respects, except the 2:1 sand mix skills yada yada

As for Mike Golden - jesus wept. That is one seriously obsessed cnut. I'm sorry but I'm lousy at Txt spk and as for Mike Jackson writing any commendation letters, well he probably wouldn't like the look of me either, so I'm on plums there.

If I was going to Walt, do you not think I'd call myself "Fife22Regt" or "EliteFifeForce", not "FatFifer"?

- and I'd get Winston Churchill himself to sign my fookin letters too :D

Having said all that though, I've got a few Commando comics from my youth up the loft. If I read them back to back over the next few days do you think I could pass myself off as one of you? I have a white shirt and black trousers, I can do "security guard" no bother (JOKING) :D

OH dear!! you crushed me with that retort...Now fcuk off you nauseating shitwad!

**FatFifer** · 23-06-2009, 20:18

Stop blubbering Tom, it's embarassing...

Don't you have a supermarket to be patrolling?

You're easily nauseated. No wonder you can't hack it in civvy life :D

Fat fighter!
Look you're obviously appalled by your inadequacy and inability to get into the forces. Well don't be, it's not for everyone and it's not your fault. Some can do it and some can't. You are obviously one that can't and it's not a sin is it? Content yourself with the knowledge that you gave it a try, and were found to be buckshee by some clueless major, who has no doubt regretted this gross mistake for all these years...If you keep telling yourself this you'll be able to come to terms with it soon i'm sure, and move on with the tragedy that apparently is your life.

Remember we care because you matter

Haha, Tom will you be my father? <flutters eyelashes>

No fiddling me like that other cnut on this thread's dad though. Aye, him with the faux MSc

I wonder if the Major's still alive? Can anyone who's connected find out who was in charge in 1990 at Dunfermline (the depot opposite the industrial estate at the bottom of the town) I'll send the fcuker a shite in the post

I suppose its true Tom, when I'm playing Call of Duty or Flashpoint I wish that was me there, shooting Russkies and dodging lead, and drinking tankards full of piss

... I guess I am a Walt

See Fat fighter...
The truth will out and it will also set you free! Don't you feel better for it?
