Did anybody else just want to be a real boy? I was just so sick of tripping over my strings :disturbd:

your nose is going to grow now ;)


I wanted to be an RAF Pilot, but, wearing glasses put paid to that. I could have gone for selection as a Navigator, but I was so set on the Pilot thing, that I turned it down.

I wanted to be a soldier - then I finished military school and decided to do IT instead, with soldiering as a side line....

Still got to go to war though ;)

What regiment, and where???

I read that at first glance as "and decided to do IT instead, with soldering as a side line." :)

Rules are being relaxed now.
The glasses issue was only for fighter pilots, if you wanted to fly troop carries etc you could wear glasses, provided your eye sight was adequate without them.

thanks - I didn't know that, I think i may be too old, now, though ;)

i wanted to be a Stormtrooper - apart from getting shot at by jedi knights it seemed great u get a gun a funky (if useless) uniform and it gets you out and about in a galaxy far far away -

of course now i want some form of job that invloves ladies in bikinis running.

And unlike fighter pilots you can be blind as a bat because a Storm Trooper has never been known to shoot at a Jedi knight or a registered bona fide hero or heroine and hit them.

:disturbd: he is lucky, i wish i had the balls to 'pop' some insurgents :tu:

Re: What did you want to be as a kid?
 

not really mate - we saw all the cr4p that war creates - civilian and military casualties, including kids as young as a few months old :afire: - makes you appreciate what you have though, thats for sure :angel: :tu:

Re: What did you want to be as a kid?
 

I remember it well mate, I was there for round one in 91-92.

Back again with 3 Commando Bgd, setting up safe haven's for the Kurds. Then 6 months in Sarajevo in 93.

Still, I miss being a sniper in a target rich environment.
