Its not the army's fault but it is the army's problem. If they try to enforce punishment they wont ask for a hungry soldier chit and the army has some balloonhead who goes down on PT.

What's the average wage for jobs which require the same level of entry qualifications and what's the comparable levels of 'starvation' amongst people doing them? Originally Posted by msr

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.

Lighten up guys and lay off Stacks, you are being so unfair to him and not nice. He might get the hump and go away and where would we get our opinions from then? (and some of our fun

I could go an read the whole thread but stopped on Page 2 having got the jist of it. Our home unit, in Aldershot, is in a non-PAYD unit and food is good. Just spent 3 weeks in a PAYD Unit with my Tp and warned the lads with plenty of time that "save your money as i dont want anyone of you going hungry soldier on me"!
Now we are back in Aldershot everyone commented how food in PAYD unit was as good if not sometimes better and no one complained about it. Everyone had cash as they budgetted for it and still managed to go out on the piss when needed.
Maybe i have super intelligent soldiers in my Tp or maybe they are just fucking sensible and the journalist in the original story was getting bored and went to his boss "ill drag up the hungry soldiers routine as sales are slow lately"."Porsche....there is no substitute"
