Originally posted by REX View PostIs that RDF or PDF?I knew a simple soldier boy.....
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

perhaps myself, in the doing.... this is why we have User ID's, you know...."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

Came across this on discovery channel website, the international sniper competition.
Not sure how the boys ranked at it but they seem like they held their own.
Life's short, party naked :-)

Originally posted by kmcm100 View PostDunno exactly how the lads got on in that competition but they beat a lot of the opposition. Its probably by far one of the hardest sniper competitions. Myself and another fella won the All-army sniper team and individual competition last may and competed in canada last sept.

Not attempting to undermine their sniping prowess but they ended up in the bottom half, 16 out of 32. So lets not be content with this standing. What other teams were competing and why did the other teams 15 teams do in terms of training, equipment , general prep to beat the Irish DF.

Something to do with the pistol shoot; maybe KMCM100 can provide more info ?"On the plains of hesitation, bleach the bones of countless millions, who on the very dawn of victory, laid down to rest, and in resting died.
Never give up!!"
