The funny thing is CP, in the real world Geddes (Sandy) knows me. He just doesn't know that he knows me, if you catch my drift.
I used to wind him up on here endlessly.........the tour dodging old knacker.

Ah right. Is he really a cage-fighting demigod or someone who plays a lot of Tekken when his stores are shut

Perhaps we should consider adopting a bit of physical profiling in units, whereby units were either filled with slim/handsome types or fat/ugly types, but never mixed (unless we wanted some civpop to beat up, some low-level conservancy tasks performing, or some waiting duties (cut not in uniform) conducted.

I do agree with everyone on this with regards overweight soldiers, it was not that long ago that I was a bit on the porky side, did something about it and am now looking a lot better for it, not bad considering I have passed 40.

The issue here is that it is yet another thread highlighting a problem which is still ongoing, and yet another fit able individual who is pissed off because they have been bye passed for promotion and some fat twat has surpassed him. I wonder whether he is better than this individual at WORK or whether he believes being badged and a gym queen is all he needs to promote.

Having guys good at both is preferred and yes fit looking soldiers certainly show a better professional army, but if this fat individual is cutting it in his place of work he was rewarded for it. Useless and fat brings PAP10 and the army a quick to get rid of complete shit faster nowadays this just seems like someone shimfing because THEY missed out

As in Sandy the PTI from the Mike Golden saga?

I've posted this before, but I worked with someoen who gave it the Big I Am about his fitness & despised anyonw who couldn't keep up. Only problem he was thick as mince (in a nice way) and completely unable to shoot at all. Perhaps a bit of balance needed...

No one has passed anyone. Read his post above.

It's ridiculous how soldiers who are just falling short on fitness tests are punished with remedial PT at silly o'clock whilst those RLC, AGC and REME knackers (mostly young from what I've seen) have gotten away with doing their own 'programmes' for years. The REME have got it right with not promoting downgraded soldiers (how I laughed at an 18 year LCpl who was dripping because he had to spend the day weeding with LCpls fresh out of the factory - he's clinically obese with larger breasts than my wife) but what's going on within the RLC and AGC?

I usually sit back and watch when someone outside the RLC just slates the RLC for ALL being fat knackers. It a bit like ALLEGEDLY Inf are all thick as fuck.....but actually they are not! Its the usual misconception that indeed was probably true a few years ago. Now im not saying we, in the RLC, are all super fit slim jims the same way the Inf are now all Mensa members, but it has improved over the last few years. Im in an RLC Regt which has seriously very few fat soldiers, but then the majority of the soldiers are Gurkhas so im probably using the wrong analogy but the "Brit" RLC Regt across the road dont seem to have seriously fat soldiers either. And as much as i was bigging up the Inf earlier on, out here (HERRICK) and i look around and its other Arms that have the fatter soldiers, Inf included! Me, well i fucking hate PT when im told to do it, im the wrong side of 40, no wings or daggers in sight and still no slower than 10.05 on my PFA, and i stupidly run on my own accord, every other day at midday in 40+ temps. And having done 25yrs in the Army, i have noticed the Para/Dagger types in the RLC can indeed run, fight, shoot and puke but when it comes to doing their job they reach their ceiling quite quickly! Dont get me wrong im not knocking the achievement they earned though.
As for the Traf, i was in there before i deployed on a Fri afternoon/evening....it was crap, empty and full of Para memorabilia that showed how out of touch the place was. It would of been more suitable if there was a Para unit in Aldershot but there isnt, and as for the Pegasus......what happened to that?? lol
