this isnt a new thing. an old mate was bitching about this over ten years ago. he was an air craft technician in the RAF up in lossiemouth. think it was one of the straws that broke his back. poor kids canny handle it. saying that. if i ever bump in to the boss i served my time under. well....
I did six years in the Royal Marines... Our drill instructor, a mountain of a man at 6'7", well over 130kgs, Welsh and with ginger hair!. Instructed us all to stand still as he inspected our lockers. Once of my fellow recruits reached up to quickly adjust something. As quick as a flash Cpl X (I wont use his name) darted across the room and landed a body shot that sounded like a sledgehammer. The poor old recruit crumpled to the floor never to be seen again as the punch broke a few ribs and put him in the medical centre for a couple of months. I still to this day, 15 years later, have a bad wrist from a PTI using me as a test dummy for wrist locks during a unarmed combat PT session. I was too afraid to say anything as I felt my wrist crunch and crack. I've seen a scouse lad almost take his last breaths at the bottom of a 5 metre pool during a combat swim test where we swim with 15kg of weight. The panicked look on his face as he walked along the bottom of the pool as the PTI's decided whether to dive in and help him. By the time they got him out he was moments from death. I've seen a lad fall flat on his face, loosing all his front teeth and needing his jaw wired. All because we were made to stand perfectly still in full ceremonial 'Blues' on a roasting hot July day for close to three hours. However if we count the numerous broken legs, ankles, broken back from a 30ft rope climb fall, and the most sad.... A lad died of heart failure on the very last test we do - the 30 miler. I can honestly say every lad there wouldn't have wanted it to be any different. So, a bit of foul language is the least of your worries if you're looking to be a Bootneck, Para, Army etc. The PC crowd should be, in no uncertain terms, told to f&*k off when it comes to the military. It's because of brave men and women in the military that the PC lot get to have these weak and timid values they appear to hold so dearly.
Yet more utter bollox in the fucked up world we now live in. There you go, learnt that in the army and all the better for it!
Of course your enemies will talk to you quietly and nicely on the front line How's about a nice cup of tea
I hope they don't ban swearing in the building trade. A lot of people would have to stop speaking altogether. They've tried to stop swearing near the public. Its sort of working. "Ooops.. Sorry I swore Madam but he called me a c*nt."
I worked in a carpet warehouse once as a summer job when just out of school. Everyone was called "cunt", as in "Hello cunt, how are you then?". Pretty much the only adjective was "fucking". It was like working with Derek and Clive. I didn't mind particularly, but it was funny when people got annoyed about something, as they no longer had any vocabulary left to express their annoyance. "He called you a cunt? What a fucking, fucking cunt."
