Is it wise to want to join somthing you know sod all about? read up on the unit first before making choices!

 

Special Observers?

Is that the new term for window licker

 

i do know alot about them, i was just seein what other people thought about it, i know thier history where theyre based the training ect... but i was trying to see if there was anything i'd missed, so i thought i'd ask, did'nt think there was any harm in it lol so i did the thing is info on them is rather scarce thats all but i've been looking on here and on th internet throught google ect... and found only basic stuff and alot of it is varied

 

Do you mean the Royal Observer Corps? The one disbanded at the end of the cold war?
This has to be a wah!

P.S. Go back to school and learn to spell.

 

And punctuate.

And possibly some extra lessons on sentence structure.

 

Oh look, another thread about joining 4/73.

Have a look here for starters.

Then you can get your speshul badge.

 

Oh, them. It threw me a little with his talking b****cks and knowing nothing about what he was trying to communicate.

 

ok and how do you know that i know nothing, i havent said anything that isnt true so far :s and so what i'm not great at spelling sometimes, get over it

 

No. You're not good at spelling ALL the time and I don't have to get over it. You do. The army relies on you being able to communicate correctly first time every time, especially doing an OP role.
A smidgen of humility would do you no harm when posting. Have you noticed that you are the only person here who is writing like a 4 year old?

 

it wasnt dispanded, they are based at cattercick

 

Well if you would like me too write properly then i will if it will shut you up. I generally don't see the point in being so pernickety(sp?) when this is only a forum and I'm asking a simple question ok.

 

Thanks mate that's got a few good things in it
