[Haiw]

It's an English dialect called 'squaddie'. ;)

[Imshi-Yallah]

Ain't it always the way, I hope he'd laminated his plastic bag :D

Same here..it's harder to read than 'regular' English, but doable. And funny as hell as always. :D

[Gordon]

I can read it OK, thanks for the update Martin.

Don't worry guys who couldn't make sense of it, you'll get better the longer you hang around here .. ;)

[Caribou Kid]

I am fluent in both spoken and written Squaddie.
I also speak the "REMF" and "Pogue" dialects, but am somewhat rusty on my written"Rupert" skills. Lack of use, you understand. :lol:

The batteries on my univeral Warrant Officer translator broke down last time I needed them at a critical moment, too, and I subsequently ended up standing tall before the MAN! Test, and re-test! :)

This sounds like a job for ...."SUPER-QUARTEMASTER!"
(DID YOU SIGN FOR THAT, MATE?)

[soldierandy]

I think the post was aimed at british squaddies only or martin thinks all soldiers in the world speak 'squaddie' :lol:

dodgeing incoming: avoiding incoming fire
stag: guard duty
plt sgt: platoon sergeant
putting himseld fwd: applying for
mention in despatches: low-level military honour
jackest bastard: jack is a guy that only looks after himself ignoring others needs but often asks others for assistance-every platoon in the world got them
telic 4: operation telic is the british collective name for operations in Iraq. 4 is the current rotation of troops. I am scheduled for op telic 06.
MRE Bombs: I assume here martin means containers for field meals for soldiers. A tea bomb is an indispensable piece of equipment for the British army always found on the back of Land Rovers.
pit: your bunk bed

In all he is saying that British troops are bored something silly about guard duty and even their top NCOs are so fed up they try to resign the army to go onto private security company like a mate of mine of a certain flying dagger capbadge who handed his kit in and walked across the road to join a bunch of bouncers. He didn't even take his DBs off.
