We're arming the crabs too!  What on earth is the MoD thinking of.



Haven't the Royal Air Force Regiment been trained in the use of rifles, hand weapons and close combat since it's formation in 1942?

Actually, the RAF personnel as a whole are known as 'rockapes' and not crabs.

Not quite. Rockapes are RAF Regt, the Regt refer to everyone else in the RAF as penguins. Not sure why but used to work with one.

I did know you were. Inter forces banter has existed since Nelson's day and probably before. Sailors in Nelsons times referred to Royal Marines as ' Lobsters ' because of their red coats.

Because we have (had for me) wings on our uniforms but don’t fly. Had a few weeks living in a tent with a few squadron rocks and they’re not bad lads. Reckon I could still do all the weapons handling drills now and I’ve been out 8 years because I did them so often before. It’s took a turn this thread.

The fame of the anonymous person has now spread to the BBC. Such dizzy heights in a short space of time, what people will do for a short time of being"famous"!

Can everyone just pause for a moment and imagine how the hell Wacca is gonna tell his mum about all this…


Not crossed your mind that DC and Wacca’s mother might be one and the same? Would explain where he gets his information and if he’s been grounded might explain his allegations!!
