-0.25 is nothing in an eye. Yet thats how much I'm out by in my left. Yet I can be a Royal Marine or a RM Officer. I did a year in the Reserve Infantry and I can safely say you need ebtter eyesight as a slogger then an officer onbaord a submarine.
A very Big, Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot on that one.:dead:

And how many applicants per position are there for said officer slot. How many for line grunts? I myself don't know, but as a former knuckle dragger I'll bet it's not for the job where you get the privledge of napping in the mud and being hungry all the time.

They are hard pressed for submariners, its never off the advertising board. Guy was shocked when I mentioned it. Its not jsut subs its fleet aswell the eyesight applies too. But yeah, msot officer applicants go Engineering or Warfare with the fleet. Not subs, so I doubt ahrdly any at all. Grunts? Oh feth laods go through the door applying for Infantry.
Infantry was a laugh to a degree, rat packs are good, yorkie bars in them now lol. But yeah sleeping in the dirt... depends if your in an OP or basha'd up in your platoon area. Platoon area you havea roll mat and your maggot bag. Stag however is inthe dirt...rain or shine :D lol But thats my point, on stag (sentry) for the absha position, your going to want 20/20. |
