    Meandering....how far can the thread be deviated?

    I have just received a polite warning from 'the moderator' about straying from the thread subject!

    As a good (ex) soldier I take the warning and adhere to the Forum Rules.

    I would like to see how this topic can be changed...in the sort of 'chinese whisper' catagory.

    Make them subtle though!

    All the best.

    Me and Ering were on the ranges the other day, when he had an ND. The CSM went bananas and Ering lost £150.

    Meandering, as in going off the rails?

    "In the event that the situation had deteriorated and a break-in operation to Sarajevo...... had become necessary then Armoured Engineers would have been the lead element.Once again we are reminded that there comes a time in war when Sappers have to go in front to open up the way.

    Can you be a deviant on the tracks?

    And how far you wish to deviate.
