Yes, well we've all learned a lesson that sarcasm is undetectable over the internet. Now if you read properly you would see I said our survival programme is hardcore and you would see the officers mess comment was for a pilot ground school weekend, not a survival ex. Also I use the term hardcore because it was drilled into my head when I was on ITLC almost 2 years ago and I have no other term. And so you know, I wasn't really compeeting with anyone, if it came across that way either I phrased it wrong or you're high strung you can choose which reason for yourself.rmc_wannabe said:Pssssh yeah, cause eating in an officers mess is hardcore :. On that note, who really cares? i'll eat anything if it's there infront of me (be it filet Minon or a a squirell) corps get there food in different ways, fresh, IMPs or what have you, i'm sure in anycase it's better than starving ,so you should consider yourselves lucky you're getting a free lunch.
Kesseler, hardcore is a term that is obsolete in my opinion. If you actually wanna brag about how crappily you got it at your SQN or corp, then go ahead. This constant **** fight about who can outsuffer who is moronic.
In my experience, food is food when you're in the field. Eat it up or, if not, i'm sure there are others (myself included) that would love to take your share.

Sgt. Papke said:Ok so im gunna guess, Carrots, Peas, Celerey and Beef, lots and lots of beef
-Hutch- said:umm nope. i don't think there is any beef. i am not sure if there is the same things in it each time. there is one secret in it though.
Come on, hook another ranger up
Good for you, I wish I had enough summers left to go to SI but sadly I don't. I don't use the term hardcore to sound superior I just do because my vocabulary is rather small (if you don't count certain four letterwords) so I have no other way. And what you see as making myself miserable in the field I see it as realism... there's no tents when your airplane goes down I personally don't find being hungry and tired to make me miserable I kind of enjoy it... maybe because I don't get a lunch every second day at school and because I operate on minimal sleep on a normal basis because I'm so busy. We can discuss our different opinions on the cadet survival system in PM if you want I personally would find it interesting but that's not the topic of this thread so I would like to end this thread jacking if you don't mind.rmc_wannabe said:Thank you Mandal ;D. Kesseler, i'm a former Air cadet ( DUN DUN DUUUN ) I did SI with Mandal this summer so i'm quite familiar with the ACSS. All i was saying is that yeah, hardcore is a buzz word that cadets use to make them feel more than they are (hence why i don't use it ) if you have to make yourself superior by inducing misery in the field, have fun, i'll just be here chillin. 8)
