All this is "part of the culture" and "has to have a fun side to attract people". This is supposed to be an army, not a youth club. And what really gets annoys me are the people who complain and whinge that they should have this and that when they cannot be trusted to perform a basic task and cry off when any real work needs to be done.
      But enough about the officers....

        There's a difference between detesting the muppets and detesting the organisation as a whole.

        I hate PDF muppets but have a soft spot for the PDF.

            Or just not turn up! What I mean is if you have a week you commit for the week but if your working or what ever they can't make you do a saturday guard when you are not on camp!

              to be honest we dont give ye a second thought because for the vast majority of us we have zero contact with the reserves.
              im more busy thinking of getting my hole at the weekend than fermenting hatred for fellow soldiers

                    Heres to killing the youth club ethos.

                    If only the people who propagate it could take a hint and shuffle off this part-time coil.

                    The only evil common from the PDF side of things is a bit of inevitable condescension. I know we are struggling to catch up after years of slide and mismanagement.

                    But please, please stop praising our enthusiasm!

                            Yes you can go for a run on recruit camp.... but No, nothing will be organised so you have to do it yourself.

                            The is really a lot of drinking on RDF camps.

                            Since you don't know this, I assume you are a recruit and prob going to your first camp - Chances are that it will be a dry camp - no drink for recruits. Doesn't stop the instructors though.

                                Hi lad the chances of that are slim to be honest, I was instructing on recruits in Bere last year and I barely got a chance to do a run.
                                The day was as follows:
                                Get up 7am(6am if you are one of the crazy girls who got up that early to put fake tan on their legs FFS)
                                Fall in for 7.20am (You'll be given a quick once over for shave,dress, boots etc)
                                Breakfast at 7:30am
                                Fall back in for 9am parade at 8:40am. (Discrepancies notede earlier will be checked for)
                                9am parade on square.
                                9am-10:30am Lessons
                                10:30-10:45 Canteen break(Your marched there and back)
                                10:45-12:30 Lessons
                                12:30-13:00 Lunch
                                13:00-13:30 Some free time get your smoke on etc.
                                13:30-17:00 lessons(you will get some 5 min breaks just to keep you awake.
                                17:00-17:30 Dinner(with 3 platoons to feed it'll be closer to 18:00)
                                17:30 -19:00 Free time(Get your stuff done for the morning)
                                19:00-21:00 Sports time(Soccer, volley ball, orienteering, hill walk etc)
                                2:00-23:59 Free time(head to the mess, ride the camp bike whatever floats your boat)
                                00:00 Bed time
                                Lifes a bitch, so be her pimp!
