View Full Version : What is a Squaddie?
One for me and Bill :D
What is a Squaddie?
Between the security of childhood and the senility of old age is found that fascinating group of humanity called " Squaddies"
A Squaddie can be found anywhere in love, in bars, in trouble and always in debt.
Girls love, Towns tolerate them, Hotels hide them, and Governments support them.
A Squaddie is:-- Laziness with a pack of cards, Bravery with a tattoo, Ruggedness in uniform and defender of the world with a copy of Playboy.
He has the brains of a bear, Tte energy of a sea turtle, the slyness of a fox, the stories of a sea captain, the sincerity of a liar, the aspirations of a Casanova, and a desire for people to be free.
His interest's are:-- Girls, Females, Women and any other members of the opposite sex.
He likes:-- Beer, Booze Plonk and ale, leave passes and an " Excused all duties" chit.
He spends his money on:-- Girls, beer, cards -and any that he has left he likes to spend foolishly
No one else could cram into one pocket: Food for 24 hours, A packet of crushed cigarettes, A box of matches, A picture of his girl, Receipts for lost equipment, A deck of cards and an old leave pass
That is a SQUADDIE!
And you still want to come to the Lan :D :D

As I remember it a N.A.T.O. is what you have after the night before :D
It is the best pick me up in the cook house. ;)
N.A.T.O. Standard cup of tea (white two sugars)
