Until you reach the spoons and duty free 😉

They use that for the 30 mile march also?

Leave the governments murder gang and sleep well 😮

I got caught twice sleeping on the floor under my pit 😅

Female firefighters can't carry men. Whole thing is daft

Females completely change group dynamics - and not for the better. Prove me wrong please.

Yes, pod for my Monday. Cheers fellas!

I fired a Glock 17 at a gun range once when I was on holiday in Miami.

We used to have these bed packs we used to make up, so I’d leave that on the floor and sleeping bag on the bed, all I’d need to do is sort the bed pack onto the bed in the morning, easy shit 😂 worst night sleep I had was when you sow your name tags into your kit, we were all up gone 1am having to get up at 5am, ended up sowing a sock into my hand, not as dramatically as it sounds 😂

Should be female formations. Average female is like 20-30kg lighter than a male. If the formation for example was a company figure out how a company of female soldiers can carry the same amount of kit or not. Israelis have female only formations.

All of everything needs to be a meritocracy

Perfecty fine for rear line duty mechanic,food, office work. Perfectly fine for vehicle combat and medical roles including evacuation. However never been convinced that front line was the best of ideas without dropping standards over all to allow enough women to make it in to justify the expense

I’m 6foot and struggled with the 6 foot wall. My mate in a different troop was small and I said how did you get over it. His answer was I only got over it twice. One on bottom field pass out and the other on the Tarzan assault course. The rest of the time the pti’s told him to run round 🤣

Lad with 3 or 4 Probably done more,

Used to be they liked the men getting close, it meant they would fight harder knowing they were thinking about protecting the guy next to them not thinking about whoever they left behind at home

'Cross-pollinating' 🤣🤣

Funny how wants never claim to be in the pay corps or catering corps , always paras marines or sas ...

Sex between your insubordinates is definitely your business.

Not in basic from my experience. So it happened just not at basic. Gotcha.

What instruments do you guys play ?

your nothing like 110,

The japanese mercedes...god I've messed you

Guinness and black, game changer.

Beginning of each lifting the lid, do a random exercise to failure to see who wins, friendly competition?!

Absolutely love this podcast as somebody going through military prep in a gap year and I genuinely look forward to the various segments for some free insight into the corps and general fitness etc on a weekly basis . Nevertheless, regardless of where one falls on the political spectrum, it really does seem unfathomable to me as a 19 year old first time Labour voter in the recent general election that Eddie's instinct is to label Trump as helmet of the week due to his populist approach rather than just simply condemn any acts of political violence against a presidential candidate. I will never be Trump's biggest fan but I am intrigued by Eddie's instinct to call out Trump's polarising nature as a politician rather than simply being able to award helmet of the week to the lunatic that tried to assassinate him. If vice versa where to apply to Biden I suspect there would be a very different narrative from Rex. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work fellas...

I was on the balcony no shit 😂

My stepdad was 5'10 when he was 15 and he lied about his age to get into the army. I couldn't do that 😂 i wil pass

Someone who's in the forces and makes out that they're more is classed as a bloater.

Imagine how bad your life must be to tell everyone you were a PONGO.😂

Someone advise me on the "rules" please. My son is a Bootneck and bought me a corps T shirt for my birthday. As a Bootneck father am I able to wear it?

Hes taking the piss if hes genuine those medals would not be like that especially the Victoria cross thats 1st place and all those medals he would be stumped to answer the medal names and how long was he in to get most of them hes done aleast 25yrs dont look to me

why is the VC on the end ON A DIFFERENT ROW instead of being the first one and why are they not overlapping. theres more than 5.

Really enjoying your stuff so far. Meant no disrespect on the last comment. I wonder what really are the chances of getting that lucky with Norwegian girls? Because to be fair I would invest a bit to put it simply they're some of the best looking on Earth. To me that side of the world is somewhat exotic and not too distant yet at the same time distant from us Anglos.

Black out blinds are a big one, also waking up to natural light, how you guys say with getting your steps in. Automatic blinds ideal if financially an option

You know what I'm gonna do it I'm gonna go SBS... *Hasn't even started official RM training. But you know what if you had your mind changed because you wouldn't walk to the gym in the rain that's honestly telling of you I'm sorry to say.

A Walter Mitty doesn't just relate to the army. It's someone who lives in a fantasy world. Makes up stories to make themselves look more interesting. Comes from the old film . Forget the actors name now who played him . I believe there was a remake made of the film.

Nice relaxed vibes with your pod. Always enjoy it

As a Pad Brat, I tend to be able to identify one, I hate that there are some guys who do this, Ive been around the military since I was born til I was 19, I would never ever claim to be one as I hold too much respect for the military personnel.

Not really the correct definition of a “Walter Mitty” although it could apply to these people too.

thats mad youre white, royal marines and proper brummies living in brum and hate nick griffin

You guys are hot.. one in each end pls lads

For a bod to have a Northern Ireland tour , Iraq tour and Afghan tour I joined 1995 - 2018 (22) Even before my time to also have a Falklands medal there was not many who where still in Add to that a UN tour all the jubilee medals and long service good conduct medal Very quickly the medals can stack up

We have the same problem here across the pond . T.V. influences ?.

🧨

Just found this and want to listen in full. Does anyone know which episode of the podcast it’s from?

These walts remind me of that cartoon character " Mr Ben" the older guys will remember this 70s thing. Basically he went into a special clothes shop & put on different outfits then he had a spectacular adventure 😂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqffZqq1p7Km58.htmlsi=jq0Cd9k3Ow2XTDva

The best one was the guy with a Para Reg tattoo & a 2 REP FFL Tattoo on his calf 😂 Even a bellend with an SAS Tattoo 😮

Even over here in Canada we know Walter Mitty. Great film.

There is a simple test for ex special forces, ask them what celebration colour coin they had? They will not be able to,give an answer if they have never served. I’m not giving away the answer as I have caught many Mittys out with this test.
