army.... yeah right.

enema's only "grunt" would be mainly upon insertion of his bottle of warm soapy water into his access hole.

Or were you this kind of grunt:

Gov't
Reject
Unfit for
Normal
Training.

Nice try.........

Maybe, with a name like Enema Boy, if you'd said the Navy it might've been believable.

*sigh*

Where have I heard Cornholio's prose style before? You can ban 'em but you can't shut 'em up.

Welcome back, Dick Head

Beanoss maybe you should disappear again from PPRUNE to search your inner child once more. The last time you made a public cry for help doesn't seem to have helped much. You sound like a very negative and miserable punter, the way you dish-out personal abuse.

Someone you don't like so you instantly hook in with vicious barbs. What a brave lad. Not.

I notice a few people commenting on your slightly twisted nature towards other people.

Have you considered seeking therapy, old Bean????





yawn.........

Yes, you did, and I can see now you're razor-sharp. I feel so naked, Beanoss has seen right through me. No hiding anything from Beanoss, folks, his powers of observation and deduction are mind-blowing... Whatever will I do now????






Anyway back to the thread if Beanoss doesn't mind.

If it's such a big show, why not send a S70 or the new Aussie Tiger, if it's in town yet? Why a clapped-out Huey??????

fish Political Correctness

I’m sad to say this but I am glad that I don’t live in Oz sometimes.

It appears that the whole place has become a giant nandy pandy, tree hugging, PC, BS, NIMBY place I’m starting to feel sorry for you.

Although I really miss knocking back a few coldies with the fellas on a hot summers afternoon, shooting the breeze telling the difference between a pilot tale and a fairy tale some people are making the place into barbie’s palace. (Pink, Plastic & Crap)

What’s the world coming too, I thought the heat in the middle east had an effect on peoples brains, but the politically correct elete down in Oz must be suffering something else, let me see……

One of the most balanced and progressive economy’s….. no that’s not it.
Good food/drink/housing errrrr Lifestyle…. Nah that’s not it.
Open government…… nup
Safe, clean environment…… nah couldn’t be.

Well I dunno but some of you seam to have your priorities a bit backward, creating a hissy fit suitable of a two year old makes us look dumb to the rest of the world.

OZ is so isolated from the rest of the BS on this planet is not funny, while half the plant is struggling to even provide food or water for is people the other are looking over their shoulder for the next fella trying to bomb them back to the stoneage, or drive a plane into a building.

Wake up and smell the rose’s……

A crew engaged in some harmless fun, whose other job is to give you the freedom to sleep easy at night make the news….. BIG DEAL.

It’s like the Aussie “Human Shields” that went to Iraq, they lasted two day when they discovered that they could not get water or electricity, let alone a decent meal, and they came home RFQ when they discovered it was DANGEROUS……
Hello…what did you think the job description for HUMAN SHIELD is.

So for all of those who have got your panty’s in a bunch. Wake up and smell the roses, your complaining about the things that make Australia, AUSTRALIA.
If you don’t like it go to England or some parts of the US where now they put up warning signs, warning that there are more warning signs.

To the crew, I know it was fun at the time and when you move off to the civi world at least you’ll get a few rounds bought by the guys who never had the intestinal fortitude to have done it themselves.

To let you know its not all that bad, I had an er in judgment a few years back, pulled off a spectacular arrival for the fellas. At the time there was not a problem but after some one who did not have the ability to do what was witnessed had a sense of humour failure. I lost my job, no big deal we always go onto bigger and better thing, and as a matter of fact it has got me further being known for something than not being known at all.

Politically INcorrect and proud of it.

Whatever will I do now????
Well, a really good start would be to go away. Don't go away angry or disappointed; just go away. OK? Not that it will affect me one way or the other since you are now going back on my extremely small IGNORE list. You should be proud to have achieved the level of stupidity required for that distinction. If you really are an airline pilot, we should all be very afraid.

If honourable Ppruners would like to decide who has the psychological problem here, do a search for all posts by air-hag. You'll find it most illuminating, but you'll probably be, as I was, bored stupid by the end of page two.

Goodbye, Dick Head.

Well guys, we certainly hit the headlines!


Flashing sign gets army rebuke

Army’s lewd flight of fancy
The Australian

Rude sign brings down chopper crew

The story was also carried by the China Post and some American papers, but they referred only to 'an internet site', not to us by name.

THE Australian Army's Iroquois helicopters are officially our most offensive weapons.
Thought they were media writers and politicians??

After the Indy debacle, the Army's flypast of a Huey towing a banner at the Melbourne Cup was cancelled.

The flagmaker is complaining that he didn't get paid for the flag:

"Who else is going to buy a 20m x 30m banner saying "WHAT A HORSE'S ARSE!"? he said.

Our local paper today had a cartoon captioned 'The Australian Air Force (sic) flushes out terrorists in Baghdad...', with a picture of a vaguely military style chopper flying along over minarets etc. with the loadmaster holding a sign saying 'SHOW US YOUR BAZOOKAS!"

The cartoonist should be stood down immediately; totally unacceptable behaviour...

Gotta love the quoting of anonymous bulletin boards in the national papers too...nothing like an authoritative source eh journos! If you want a quote to pad out your story, just look on the internet...heaps easier than actually trying to find out a few facts.

Gee....what a tempest in a teapot!


Why is it....seeing that photo....weighing the evidence that pertains to the genius thought process that led to the event....do guys like Sousa and I seem to connect with the perpetrators?

I reckon it must be the strong 1-1 vibes the old Huey has....jumbles yer brains or something! That would be my defence....yesssir your Highness....temporary insanity brought on by repeated Counter-Coup noggin bashes by Bell. Why ever what was I thinking?

As a former Army Warrant Officer pilot....I applaud these lads for their exploit.....and as someone who has been used similar enlightened thinking.....can understand how that happens....the act was brilliant....the timing needs some improving it seems.

I suggest a suitable punishment should consist of taking that sign down to the beach and showing it to every fair damsel in view....ask her if she has been insulted by the sign....and offer up a direct personal apology to each and everyone that so indicates the need to be apologized to. Yessir...that would be a fitting punishment.

SHOW US YOUR TITS!
Erm, Signmaker. Since your inconsiderate posting of members of the ArgleBargle Race team showing an inappropriate (though reasonably polite) sign one has been sacked for appearing in public without his hat, and the others have been stood down pending investigation. You irresponsible person, I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

I understand the only reason anybody would attend this profoundly boring event is to peruse the local and imported udder displays and get plastered. The crews involved (ADF & ArgleBargle) deserve commendations for entering into the spirit of the event.

Cornhole banned yet?

See the latest? A woman injured by flying debris caused by downwash at Indy has accused the sign crew. Unfortunately she couldn't recognise the difference between a green and brown Huey and a low vis grey Seahawk which was the actual perpertrator! I guess the squids are laughing it up while the Army takes the heat?

From my response to the online version of the Queensland Courier Mail: I must chuckle at the adjectives used in this article: sleazy, shocked, outraged.

The whole stunt was a hoot, and very refreshing in this dreary age of political correctness.

Well done, lads!
