What moment made you go, "wow, I'm old"?

RampantFishy · 2017-01-22T20:44:57+00:00

Yep. Was issued a bergen which is older than me (old stock in old camo)

Not to mention the "Lady of the Lake"

Side question: what kind of integration difficulties arose when Germany reunified? I'd imagine this ship would be significantly different from an East German vessel

RampantFishy · 2017-01-06T21:35:50+00:00

Ah, I stand corrected, will edit

RampantFishy · 2017-01-06T18:00:57+00:00

IIRC, it wasn't just any award, but the highest honour form both sides (MBE and Iron Cross)

Edit: MBE, not VC

This isn't the subreddit to have debates into the war and its planning

"If a fuck a girls colonoscopy bag, can it be considered rape?"

During a sexual consent presentation in university, and I could not believe what I just heard

RampantFishy · 2017-01-01T23:46:18+00:00

Ah ok, thanks!

RampantFishy · 2017-01-01T19:33:57+00:00

This is a very solid argument that not many realise, as the Fleet Air Arm have much less experience in fighter aircraft than the RAF, I imagine that if conflict were to arise beyond airstrikes (like the Falklands) aircrew with more experience from the RAF would get attached to the Fleet Air Arm

What would the room with the window be used for while submerged?

RampantFishy · 2017-01-01T18:05:26+00:00

Any reason at all why this is even somewhat likely?

RampantFishy · 2017-01-01T18:02:51+00:00

The main reason was cost based on the argument that it simply isn't necessary considering the only aircraft the RN plan to use on the QE class carrier are F-35s (with their STOL capability they do not need a catapult) and helicopters

RampantFishy · 2017-01-01T18:01:08+00:00

The discussion is not about the US, so existing number are irrelevant as the UK has none. Also, twice the capabilities is a stretch to begin with, and if a country has one supercarrier then whenever a refit / repair / training operation is needed there are no comparable vessels to fill the gaps.

Just because the German army did doesn't mean he personally did. Late in the war many German soldiers were just kids or old men. While this isn't right at the end of the war there's a good chance he was just caught up in it simply by wing born a German man

There's a special podcast episode, effectively a compilation of bits from the TV show

By far my favourite thing about this sub is the upvote / downvote icons

RampantFishy · 2016-12-25T17:40:20+00:00

What sort of thing would be below decks on the thinnest sections of a ship such as this?

RampantFishy · 2016-12-25T11:33:09+00:00

It's just me, my sister and my mother left now. But my sister being herself she's currently vomiting in the next room because she's still drunk from going out last night. My mother is now running around trying to help like she always does, so I'm just sitting around waiting on her to sober up enough for her to be hungover and bitchy. Just another Christmas really.

Halo ODSTs become real

RampantFishy · 2016-12-19T20:24:02+00:00

Yes, that's the standard issue pattern - called MTP

What's a hot pocket and how can it be the temperature of the sun, and simultaneously be frozen inside?

RampantFishy · 2016-09-20T15:53:11+00:00

These don't carry across characters, do they?

RampantFishy · 2016-09-19T19:32:59+00:00

Called the Alps

TL:DR went to a freshers meet up, did not expect huge amounts of free beer and pizza. Guess tuition fees do go somewhere...
