Wanna try what i do for a living?
So Captain, you are doing some recruiting, I see...
There is a saying with regards to joining the Marines (its a modification from the Paras, you see)
When you got a bunch of potential recruits what do you do...
1. Separate the boys from the men
2. Separate the fools from the men
3. Enlist the fools...
Jokes aside, I admire you for what you do, 42RM.

We seperate the men from the Marines.
The fools join the Parachute Regiment and the men join the Army.

Exactly, why jump out of a perfectly serviceable airplane that's going to land 30 minutes later.

Listen up, you bloody fairies,... Royal Marines, Marines, Commandos, Rangers, Royal Ballet company, SEALS SAS, or whatever,... come and see a real man in action. I've been married to the same chook for damn near 40 years, and she'd have you lot all screaming for your lives like a pack of little girls. Plus she's light on her feet and got the best right cross in the state.
I can hack any F*ckin' thing,... I'm a long term married man.

Married = a weak pathetic excuse for a man
You haven't met Mrs Frogman mate, I fear no one more than her! I have to sleep with one eye open at all times and never keep my back turned for too long! :shoothea: :crybaby:
This is something that I have considered. When I had my heart set on coming back to the UK. But, I do not think it will be for me, I mean, I have utmost respect for it, and if I were to join the Navy (which is the plan), I would like to be in some kind of role which doesn't involve desk-jockeying.
I spoke to Unc about the Marines, after that chat, I took a second look at it and decided that it mightn't be for me. But who knows, things change. It's a state of mind, after all.

I believe I will just take your word for my good Sir.
Interesting stuff, if I were a few years younger full of that moto and still damp behind the ears however I'd be all over jumping the gun and breaking something without thinking it through.
Sheds a very fine light on what you do, much respect and admiration from my part.:salute2:

Well, sir, let me tell you about being married. I am married to a nurse (I am a registered nurse myself). Now that is one woman who knows how to handle sharp instruments. When she is about to administer injections to her patients, the question they always ask is, "Does it hurt?"
Her reply was this- "For me, no..."
And in Singapore, we have a silly joke about men getting life partners.
Marry a female bus conductor- "Oi, get in to the back..."
Marry a nurse- "Now, that is not so bad, is it...?"
Marry a telephone operator- "Please hold on while I pass you to the next person"
The best... marry a teacher. Why? If you do something wrong, she will make you do it again and again till you get it done to her satisfaction.
Now, do you still wish to remain single...?
As for the ladies, we always say that they should marry someone from the military. A very sensible thing to do, you see.... these boys are good are keeping the place clean, they can cook something out of almost anything they can lay their hands on, and the best thing of all- They ARE good and carrying out instructions without much argument.
I've said this before somewhere in this forum- my relationship with my wife is very much like the Army- I am the General and she is the Major. I get to make General decisions, and she gets to make Major decisions...:salute2:
