Yeah, but you need those "Search and Rescue" stickers on your Volvo just in case someone gets lost on their way back from the sking caravan site, with his miserable Tupperware holiday on wheels parked next to his Volvo, lights flashing. What a sad, sad bd.thouse block.If there's an incident like that, they'll know who to turn to.

Anyone see the programme about The Paras last night ?
If you met some of the real Paras you might be forgiven for thinking that they were Walts.
A liking for war and violence and not afraid to say it.
The Corporal was court martialed twice - for fighting with his own men
The Major likened it to holding back a pack of angry dogs.
Be careful who you call a Walt.
You'll probably be OK if you accuse a Royal Marine.
They are ( slightly) more civilised.

Like me, they've been nowhere exciting in their careers so far. PTSD walts!

Because I'm a different type of sad, I did the old online MOT check. Disappointed he lets his tyres get close to the legal limit so frequently. Not much use if you get stuck in 3" of muddy water and need rescuing yourself now is it?king caravan site, with his miserable Tupperware holiday on wheels parked next to his Volvo, lights flashing.

Snow forecast from tomorrow afternoon, i bet a few of these 4x4 types are fapping themselfs silly at the forcasts
Definitely they'll be sleeping with one eye on the phone tomorrow night.
I think I might be a Walt. I've certainly had plenty of dealings with them. I'm an adult instructor with the Army Cadet Force - working with 12 to 18 year olds who want to do a little more than play Xbox and get pissed on the park then mug old ladies.
It's a complete change of outlook for me - I've not got a military bone in my body - I did try to sign up on three occasions for the Regular Army (once) and the TA twice but was knocked back on medical grounds all three times. Is it Waltish to take pride in a uniform and cap badge I wear, but didn't actually serve?

That is sas or anti terror.For the police to say it wasn't a police vehicle and for the mail to not be jumping up and down that it was a imposter would suggest so.
Still, could be a walt...

Unlikely. Read Soldier Spy by Tom Marcus. He's former mi5. He talks about the SAS attachments and they drive black range Rovers. Mi5 have a mix but none have blue lights or sirens. Not even hidden ones. If they need to get somewhere quick the team leader can authorise STEEL BADGE where they are allowed the gently ram cars out of the way. Really interesting book.I reckon a Walt. Or could be unmarked car from another force and the met are being obtuse.

It depends if you take pride in your role as adult instructor giving your time to a worthy cause, or if you take pride in being associated with a particular regiment?It's a complete change of outlook for me - I've not got a military bone in my body - I did try to sign up on three occasions for the Regular Army (once) and the TA twice but was knocked back on medical grounds all three times.

Infantry soldiers will go through their first few months in the army wearing a cap until they have passed off the square and been given their beret by a senior officer. It's a big moment for them which is then reinforced by the rest of the 6 month training. They will take pride in their capbadge, knowing they have earnt the right to wear it with pride.
As a cadet instructor, you haven't earnt the right to wear it but your organisation, along with the attached regiment, have seen fit to appoint you as a custodian of that uniform and everything it represents. That is something to be proud of in its own right.
There are few things more irritating than seeing an overweight adult instructor, flaunting his authority with more vigour than anyone of his actual rank would do in the Army. On the flipside, seeing people give up their weekends so they can help young people gives me back a bit of faith in humanity.

I had a good laugh in Aldershot when two baby paras hurled abuse at our patrol car as we drove past, my partner was a Para Provost PTI, he shot out of the car and gave them a rollicking they'll never forget. Their faces were a picture when they saw the maroon beret! Like me, they've been nowhere exciting in their careers so far. PTSD walts!

Or does he drive around in a Highways England vehicle wearing a para beret?
