Grantham's been like a ghost town since the Police School moved from Newton years ago! Pop into Lincoln for the night you could do worse! For Gods sake stay out of Sleaford after 2000hrs! or you could end up seeing what happens when cousins marry!

Okay so maybe I didnt make myself quite clear.. Has anyone or is anyone going to Grantham this weekend for the TA RLC Selection Course?

Calamity Jane

Why would we want to do that?
Personally I'd rather apply for the Pioneers Grave Digging Course!
(Its called dark humour and going off on one i.e tangent!)
If you hadn't already noticed Sticky's a master of the art of Tangenting!

So are you going to Sleaford to meet the Munsters or what..............

Sorry Ma'am
Won't happen again,
I'll just get back in my box shall I?
If I may offer some advice (note spelling!)Perhaps IF you are successful in joining HMF you should proceed directly to QM Dept and sign out a Life you arrogant little girl. With an attitude like that you will provide endless hours of amusement for those around you!

Got your PM Calam Ma'am!
So sorry to hear that you don't apreesheait my adviSe!
Most people just don't appreciate me period!
Does this mean that there are things about me you do appreciate?
You've been talking to Doc haven't you?
Whatever he said:
50% is true
25% is rumour
12% is speculation
06% is libellous
03% is fantasy
And the remainder has never been proved!

Cheer up I'm sure you'll make a damn fine officer one day!
( I believe the Salvation ARMY is currently recruiting!)

TA RLC Selection Course

Huh?

I thought the critria was "two legs and a head...arms optional".

A blanket-stacking selection course? Who'dathunkit? Is there a special forces version (perhaps with incredibly huge, invisible blankets)?

I never could figure that stuff out. I mean, who the hell would want to stack blankets on a weekend, especially when that's probably what they do all the rest of the week anyway?

Oh well, someone's gotta do it I s'pose.

i trained at grantham and it was gay beyond belief, two lads actually held hands on the parade square and our sections anthem was "its raining men" one of those lads had a naked wrestle with another lad and managed to stick a biro up his arse (no im not joking ) the same lad, funnily enough also got bungee'd to his bed naked and had his arse whipped with a wet mop by a nasty corperal we nicknamed poison dwarf, youll know him if hes there cos hes a mouthy evil manc shortarse who's funny as f**k

the training is what you make of it, its taught well but you can take it seriously and do it to the best of your ability and then someone else can not give a f**k piss about do everything wrong and the corperals will just resit the test for them till they pass, so all you can do is learn from it, but your never really chalenged, your skills are never really tested

and jane you will probably get to corperal pretty soon with your attitude, no f**ker will like you though, sugest you rethink and lighten up, go out for a drink with the lads and learn to laugh at yourself
