Thats the reason i put it in radio chatter cause it doesnt count as a post, and its more just for fun.
recceguy said:Jeeeez,
This is an Army/AF/Navy forum!! Aren't we getting WAYYY of topic here? Enough of the touchy, feely bullshit!!!! I like to think I'm as sensative as the next guy, but lately the board has been innundated with cutesy little signature lines and the like, little flashy girlie stuff. Where'd all the Military ethos and stuff go? This is a MILITARY forum, not a Dear Abby, my Spouse isn't here, my Teacher is a putz, my elected representative is a lyin' sack o' shyte type forum, but a MILITARY forum to talk about MILITARY stuff. Do you think it'd be to hard to go back to the root reason why we're here? To talk about the soldier and the military problems we face on a daily basis? Spouses and deployments are OK and the things that go with it, because that directly impacts the deployed soldier. Leaving your two week girlfriend to go to Basic, is not. Grow up and accept responsibility. Done drugs for th last three years? Don't waste our time. Your an idiot and I won't/ can't tell you how to pretend your a viable member of the human race long enough to pass through training and spend one evening in a fighting trench with me. Don't like the right wing, political ethos that the majority of our military subscribes to? Tough shyte, get a life and welcome to the 21st century, YOUR the dinosaur if you think flowers and rhetoric will save your ***. An AK and 20,000 rds of non corrosive primers MAY help you out, but I doubt it. HINT, the gun only has trading value for the ammo, as long as you have IT!! So for you civies, don't trade the gun first
This has gone on longer than I wanted. I started off goofy and off the cuff, having some fun, and found myself somewhat serious.
I have noticed a trend of lately though. We've had this "thing of ours" for a number of years. It's been self policing and certain constraints have held themselves without having been mentioned. We welcome input from all sources, especially spouses, but please follow the trend of the other 8000 members here. We don't use cutsey little avatars in our sig line, and this is not, in the main, a spouses forum.
OK, go ahead and pile on.

armyjewelz said:The thing I do find Ironic is that there are SOOO MANY times that sex and alcohol and chauvinism come into play in normal topics in the ACTUALY ARMY threads, yet these are never pointed out by staff...On one occasion, a thread getting SOO off topic and being asked several times to close it down as it was not only off topic but painted a pretty nasty picture of your men who so selflessly protect our country, yet it took FOREVER or that to be closed!!! And that wasn't in radio chatter. Granted, I have now been taught the "report to moderator" button and shall use it.
armyjewelz said:Also amusing to note that a man with an avatar of running breasts or a self photo consisting of a drop dead gorgeous woman is acceptable yet a kitten with a riffle is not. Sorry that I am not able to provide more stimulation.

see, that's the crux of the issue, right there. The antithesis of the CF mindset. That's why they draw fire, ladies. CF soldiers have taken the idea of Quiet Professionalism almost to an extreme. We have taken the traditional Canadian understatement and run with it. The more checked-out a troop is, (in my experience) the more likely he is to down-play his abilities. Boasting, bragging, attention-seeking is severely frowned-upon.Springroll said:I like the sigs that some of you have, they are cute and show some originality, rather than one like mine, so bland and icky!
