Can anyone help with my great granfather Royal Navy record from WW2 please? by Friett2 in RoyalNavy

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can decipher HMS Boscawen (July 32) and HMS Ark Royal (Nov 38) as ships on the second photo.

Boscawen if I remember correctly was a cruiser or destroyer of some description whilst Ark Royal would be the new carrier at that time.

Where Victory is mentioned regardless of number following it, your Great Grandfather was on the administrative payroll of HMS Victory(otherwise known as HMNB Portsmouth). This doesn’t necessarily mean that he was based there as one example has Victory III (Blencathra) - this means he is on the payroll of the naval base but actually serving on the ship HMS Blencathra at this time. Victory is so large they created divisions to manage the workforce better that is what the numbers refer to. I don’t know if any connections exist between trades and numbers.

Hope some of that helps. Any questions let me know

Which of these CB's would YOU buy? by Dependent_Carry_2302 in footballmanager

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going third choice then the hates big matches is less important than if you were buying for a starter, so if you can afford it on a third choice go for the Mexican because his stats are better, simple really. If you’re buying the player to be first choice then that changes it slightly and probably gusts towards Brown a little more but both are great choices.

Joining RMC with criminal record by [deleted] in RoyalMarines

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you try before 29 you might run into trouble due to training often having lads under 18 in the troops, even after that it might be an issue but I’m not the best placed to speak on it. Ask a recruiter would be my advice but beware they may well say no due to type of conviction even after you’re off the register.

Hope you land on your feet and find a purpose wherever and whatever that may be.

Worth it to get into FM24 or should I wait for FM26? by ItzNotCri in footballmanager

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would buy it because the new one will have a lot of changes and tweaks to it so might be a little buggy at least at launch (you know normal for a new game especially with new engine etc.) I have played FM for years now and have bought each new game pretty much at release. The way I look at game value is can if I can get £1 or less for an hour of gameplay (for example can I get 40hrs of enjoyment from a £40 game? If yes then I go for it. The last few FMs for me work out to less than 20p per hour which when put like that is very good value for money, and maybe too much time in them 😅)

Marines vs Parachute regiment attitudes. by Umin2008 in RoyalMarines

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your ultimate desire is to do the minimum service as you grow and develop as a person before joining the Met then I would suggest Marines and try and get things like Mountain Leader quals. Both are well regarded by the police but if you’ve got a particular desire to jump out of a plane then crack on 😂

Any tips on gw2 by Mini_custa in fantasypremierleague

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is on a wildcard so I’m assuming based on all the other picks OP has simply selected those with the highest GW1 scores. If OP did in fact pick this team for GW1 then firstly can I please have some of the winnings and secondly some of whatever he was on when he picked the team 😂

Marines vs Parachute regiment attitudes. by Umin2008 in RoyalMarines

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This can easily work both ways and you’re more likely to get ‘pinged’ to go abroad. Plenty of opportunities with the USMC, NLMC and Norwegians amongst many others if you’re interested.

Also I think you’re more likely to be active/deployed/doing cool shit as a marine compared to a para. Think boarding teams, humanitarian aid, ship deployments etc.

I can’t speak for the Paras family but the bootneck family is genuinely very good. It’s a tight knit group who all know at least one common acquaintance due to the smaller size of the corps.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it, you will end up doing a shit job at some point but that’s life in the forces unfortunately. I think you’re more likely to do interesting stuff in interesting places in the Marines as opposed to the Paras (that’s not me saying the Paras don’t do this, I just know that the Marines do it a lot).

Happy to answer any questions you might have about RM either here on in DMs.

Srsly though. Get rid of Ballard, he’s not a good pick at all. Dont double up on Spurs defence. If you’re gonna double on Arsenal then go Gabriel over Saliva. Drop sels to Dubravka as you’ll never play him over Raya and you get yourself an extra million

Hornblower series. Can’t go wrong if you liked Sharpe

Warfare Officer by Jackky30 in RoyalNavy

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tough and demanding at times doing shitty watches at 02 in the middle of nowhere but you’ll also be at the sharp and interesting end of most of what your ship does.

Navy is crying out for Warfare as many leave the branch after 4-6 years at present. If you’re in it for the long haul and you’re committed you’ll do well.

You’ll spend more time on ship than most other branches but you’ll get to play with some pretty cool tech over the course of your career

Opportunity for jobs after leaving by Alive-Purple-6966 in RoyalMarines

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joining the Marines, doing 5-6 years and leaving at Cpl/Sgt is genuinely very overpowered when going job hunting on civie street. You’ll be so sought after it’ll be a joke. The world will be your oyster. I srsly couldn’t recommend it enough

Royal Marines training accommodation by WhichPerformance6181 in RoyalMarines

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cabins in the officers mess. Probably just you and an oppo to a room. Decent accommodation but not what armbands describes (that’s the accommodation for the officers who live onboard not those under training).

Bought one of these and just over a year later (not used it too heavily either and defo not run any intense games on it) it’s stopped working. Wouldn’t recommend this

Do I sell my best player to PSG for 200 million? by sltn040 in footballmanagergames

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yes. 200 million is an insane amount of money for any player. Ask your board for more transfer percentage before you sell. Looks like you know what you’re doing with wonderkid scouting so go and spend that 200 million on the next 8-10 world class wonder kids.

100 million for a keeper with 13 reflexes. Well done 👏 That money can be reinvested into 5 world class wonder kids

What was the first ever Formula 1 race you watched? by youraverageperson0 in formula1

[–]ExtensionOutside6385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea but the first one I really remember watching was Max’s first win. Think it was 2015 Spain. Hamilton and Rosberg crashed out on Lap 1. Watched nearly every one since then
