  • My Mickey is Bigger than Yours

    Well unlike some, the East does spend some of its time training to be soldiers.....! Lol
    parade ground soldiers...and not even great ones at that!!!!!

    Apart from the LSB who were the only real competition in the past when it came to falling plates
    Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

    Apart from the LSB who were the only real competition in the past when it came to falling plates
    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.

      I just blew my tea through my nose over my keyboard, busting my shite laughing at the thought that you actually believe what you just wrote.

      Yes, you boys can shoot well, there's no denying that, you get plenty of time on the range; but in the field, when it comes down the real business of soldiering, the East are the Daddies! Fact.

        Without taking away from the main content of this thread, no, no they really are not.

            Soooo much evidence to the contrary mate that posting it would make this thread be shut down for diverging from the main point.

              Ah now Buck, there's a stockpile of cringe worthy stories about the West and South in the field it deserves a thread of its own.

              Amateur hour yahoo antics of the Wild West at the last assessments - I rest my case

                I refuse to talk about this more on this thread because it's not about the EBDE shooting comp. But be safe in the knowledge that the east most certainly are not the best and the West and South have your arses covered.

                  Thanks for covering our asses Buck, it's reassuring to know that we have all you "sharp shooters" in the rear with the gear while the Mighty East Bde are getting stuck in, advancing towards contact because we're the best men to get the job done.

                  Like I said, no point arguing with fact.

                        whether I believe it or not is irrelevant, the reaction was worth with

                        I can;t qualify to hold an opinion in the big mickey competition as I haven't been in the game for 3 and a half years at this point.

                        Just a throw away point designed to give some one a laugh.

                        Thanks S&S, bit of a tedious day at the office , crap weather outside, your reaction gave me a giggle.

                        Know its off Topic B20...apologies but had to comment

                          This is the Results of EASTERN BRIGADE SHOOT thread... suffice to say that someone in the E Bde won and not a single f**k was given about the other Bde's on the day, from that point of view.

                          TBH we usually disregard our comrades in other Bde's anyway - bar the all army - when we "parade soldiers" march smartly away from the plates grumbling...

                          "if only they could soldier that well"

                          "He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
                          "No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

                            Never met any one from the east in all army falling plates during my visits apart from the LSB, so in truth wouldn't know what they grumble about!

                              Having joined in the east and relocated to the west and having done a few combined courses, the East aren't the be all and end all. Yes there are some good ones and some shite one's too, same for everywhere I suppose. To quote an Eastern comrade "I know pain, I've done push ups in rivers", a day later he went flat.....
