  • ONET website

    Óglaigh Náisúinta Na hÉireann Teoranta is the official name of the Organisation of National Ex-Servicemen and Women (O.N.E.).

        Ha, look at Minnie Kinsella with a beard!


        Those berets look manky with the blazers. Berets are working dress anyway, what the hell are they wearing them for?


        Who are the Spanish chicks? I don't remember seeing them taking on rations on any ship!

            Hi Y.H.F.
            The reason for the berets is back some years ago Ex Service men would turn up on
            parade in all sorts of head ware ie Bowler Hats, Soft Hats ,Wooley Hats ,Fishermans hats etc. So the national exc decided to have some sort of uniformety hence the berets,now we must work on the pants.

                          He was a character! He was walking down the lines one day when an army officer passed him. The officer went to return the salute, but quickly realised that no salute was forthcoming from Gerry!

                          'Excuse me, I don't know who you are, or what you are, as you have no rank markings' The officer said. ' but since when has the practice of saluting a superior officer ceased?'

                          To which gerry replied, ' don't you 'hashle' me and I won't 'hashle' you'
                          And off he went, leaving the officer standing with his mouth open!

                          I hope he is keeping well some place!
