    Reasons for joining up

    I saw the US AFN adverts whilst working in Iraq and found them utterly cringeworthy.

    However, if I had seen the Austrian efforts at getting people to join...

    The term bugle originates from the French word bugleret, which was derived from the Latin buculus, meaning young bull.

    So i could kill people and cum on their dead faces, seeing that the Salvation Army didnt allow that (Bluddy liars, i know they eat babies) I joined the British Army so i could do what the films said i could do, like skiing and driving tanks through houses, that and shagging other squaddies wives when they were away on scheme.

    Some days you wake and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong, it's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble ahead..... Formally known as Mucus, before I lost the log in....

    Well two days of digging and searching in the general area and we still haven't found the cunting leak. Surely there must be technology more accurate than a grumpy old bloke in a yellow hi-vis coat, wielding a length of dowelling on a thread bobbin and claiming there may be a leak in the generic area known as "under there"?

    My Bold: Agree'd. Yummy indeed. In fact, I THINK that advert alone has just tempted me to sign up for the Austrian Army now Dont suppose it would work too well in the UK, Having some Burberry Baseball cap wearing scrote sat on the bonnet of his Saxo with his little chav girls all swooning over him....

    In the British version, you just don't stop the APC until you're over the Saxo.

    It'll attract the sort we're really after.

    P.S. I'm sure the Ukrainians or some other Eastie-beastie mob made an almost identical advert. Austrians - Germans without the charm.
    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.

    The same reason I haven't signed off - I don't want to be a civvy.

    That and the fact that guns, tanks, etc are fecking fun to play with.

    Re: Reasons for joining up

    and what advert did we get in the UK? Some hairy assed sarge screaming at me in a landy (i presume) about killing the lights and driving through a wooded area...................................Hardly a comparison i suppose

    Ah I remember it well
