Just for parity so that all the attention isn't on the RAF ;)

How about:
Fly Navy,, oh uh hang on a minute...Do you like Helicopters?

Join the navy and see the world, or at least all the ****ty bits, while struggling along at half speed in your BOAT to save fuel...

The Royal Navy, we are so poor now we can't even send you a canoe for cockers P, still just you wait till we get some really big BOATs and maybe if we could borrow some fuel.......?

[Easy Street]

I wonder if the MAA approve of the "Life without Limits" slogan?

[Willard Whyte]

Join the RN and search for the Golden Rivet.

Something along the lines of:

"70% of the world is covered by water - and we've got* a Type 45 for every 12"

*Applicants must understand that we haven't actually got them so much as will probably get them. At some point.

I dunno, being chased around the desert by angry arabs is pretty much par for the course these days.

Join the Navy and see the sea, from the dockside!

Rum is no longer issued but Sodomy is now approved of -

Join the Navy, we might not have many ships but we are now have the most modern uniform of all the services. Baseball caps, zip up boots with false laces and velcro uniforms.:ok:

Er...And the purpose/usefulness of this thread is what, exactly?

[Willard Whyte]

Fun. You know, the sort of thing we used to have in the services many, many years ago.

[cornish-stormrider]

how does that noise go - you know the one the reel makes when the bite runs the line off........

fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

Agaricus, this is banter, you will see I started the first part against my own service. others felt the other two needed to be included, probably for reasons of purpleness.....

If you don't like it don't read, or reply as, alas, my pocket of bothered is sadly empty today. Enjoy the fun.

[Milo Minderbinder]

And I thought this was going to be another falklands thread.

[orca]

Well we could combine the two!

The guy with the telescope could be saying:

"I say Sir, the crabs have dropped a bomb somewhere near the airport!"

Or the officer:

"Hand over the telescope Perkins, we'd all like to watch Ward win this one!"

My sincere apologies if any of the actual heroes take offence.

[Training Risky]

@orca - that is classic banter sir - well done. (and I'm a crab).

New Royal Navy 2012....... Minus the Harrier :ugh:

[orca]

A point of order on that one M'lud!

Join the RN, watch the RAF get a little soggy on occasion.

From the Navy News:

'Maritime Ops - piece of piss' says RAF display pilot. Land in the water and sooner or later a boat'll pick you up!

'Maritime Ops - piece of piss' says RAF Sqn OC. Land in the....oh you get the idea!

[NutLoose]

One was referring to the old tub it is sitting on, the Harrier is off my old Squadron, all be it a different type to the one we had :p

[SunderlandMatt]

Join the Navy, feel a man.

[bobward]
