Military friends . . . . . . .

[JC]

Oh so true, and syas the same even as an ex military mate


CIVILIAN FRIENDS - Disown you for running around their house naked in front of a bunch of people none of you have ever met before

MILITARY FRIENDS - Take photos and then join you

CIVILIAN FRIENDS- Think its disgusting that you got so drunk you pissed your pants and drowned the phone in your pocket - in their bed

MILITARY FRIENDS-Upon hearing what happened say "That's f**ked - that's why I don't sleep with my mobile in my pocket anymore" and help you turn their mattress over ...

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Get upset if you are too busy to talk to them for a week

MILITARY FRIENDS: Are glad to see you after many years; and will happily carry on the same conversation you were having last time you met.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Never ask for food

MILITARY FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr and Mrs

MILITARY FRIENDS: Call your parents Mum and Dad

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and then tell you what you did was wrong

 MILITARY FRIENDS: Would be sitting next to you saying, 'Mate...we f**ked up ....but what a giggle?

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry

MILITARY FRIENDS: Cry with you

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Know a few things about you

MILITARY FRIENDS: Could write a book with a shed full of direct quotes from you

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will kick the backsides of whole crowds that left you behind

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Would knock on your door

MILITARY FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, 'I'm home, got any beer!

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Share a few experiences.

 MILITARY FRIENDS: Share a lifetime of experiences no civilian could ever dream of.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will take your drink away when they think you've had enough

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will look at you stumbling all over the place and say, "You had better drink the rest of that, don't waste it." Then they carry you home and put you safely to bed.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will talk crap to the person who talks crap about you.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will knock the crap out of people who use your name in vain

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Know where you buried the body

 MILITARY FRIENDS: Helped you bury the body

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will call you 'mate' as a term of endearment

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will call you a 'wayne kerr ' c*#t or 'tosser' as a term of endearment

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Are for a while.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Are for life.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will ignore this

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will forward this to their military mates

Couldn't agree more mate. Most of the lads I work with are ex mob - fantastic loyal friends

So true. Not spoken to any of my old civvy mates I grew up with in years now.

Soo true mate. Soo true. Just got my posting in the RAF to Coningsby, which is over 4 hours from home, no doubt I will lose contact with most of my civvy mates...

[wessexgti]

have to say,its brilliant but not completly true,as i have 3,true,friends,who have stood shoulder to shoulder in certain moments in life when others have legged it/left me to it.

and,no,im not comparing what im talking about to the experiance's that bind lads who've scene active service together.

I gotta say, I don't think it's true really, but it's a laugh I guess.
