That 250 hours community service should taking up scrubbing all the war memorials they can fit in.. Preferably with a toothbrush

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

And perhaps a good Beasting for at least an hour each day of his Community Service ? :angel:

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Sorry I don't see the point in this beating, surely the people who's names are on the memorial wouldn't like to see thier names sullied anymore byt beating the idiot.

Pity the people can't be sentenced to things like two years national service :rolleyes:

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Unless it was a typo I think EOB was referring to 'beasting'* as opposed to beating - I may be wrong of course, EOB may just be a total sadist...... ;)

*"the imposition of arduous exercises, either as training or as punishment; being beasted"

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/beasting

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Thanks Osem, I was indeed refering to to Beasting as punishment. :)

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

congratulations your officially an old fart :D welcome to the club ;)

:clap: :LOL:

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Put a foot wrong in the Army & you would probably be in for a "Beasting", drilled for an while, doubled, any crap they can throw at you to give you a hard time. Osem is right.

I agree with the punishment though.

Not old... well not until Sunday ;) but I do have pictures of my father doing his National Service :p:

Apologies for mis-reading the beasting into beating.. This monitors on the fritz and is a bleeding a bit at high res :(

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

That or you have the eyes of a 60 year old ! :p::angel:

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Always had perfect eyesight (and by my current shooting groupings still perfect nerves as well :p: )

But already repaired this monitor twice and now it's giving up the ghost :( still my new 23" tft is in the post arriving tomorrow

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Now you're an old fart, 20-20 vision will soon be a thing of the past, a bit like a damned good sh............... ;) :D

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

I think you'll find, according to Doughnut's thread, that rather than being a thing of the past, it's something that is a quite frequent occurrence as you get a bit older.....;)

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Ok, I'll bite.... What size at what range?

Re: Drunk student shows no respect for soldiers
 

Mangaged to get on a military range earlier this year and got 3" @ 200m on the old L85A2 with an old Susat (he had no ACOG's :( )

Not as good as my best when I was a weapons tech but don't get a chance to shoot much these days apart from putting some rabbits on the dinner plate up our field with a precharged
