PJI Watch

Seeing as they wear Mickey Mouse brevets, is it right that Mickey Mouse will soon be wearing one of these?

With redundancies imminent I'm assuming the watches also come with commemorative P45 attached.

Is it not a worry that for a PJI it is water resistant to 5 atms - what does that say about an expert in an air based environment?

As an ex-Super Duper Airborne Trooper I have to say that your quote above is one of the funniest I've read... Or am I sheltered and this is a recycled joke? Either way,

AA,

Not recycled and definitely worth 10/10...oh so true! Gimps the lot of 'em.

So which reputable company makes this fine and sturdy watch that can make a profit for £75 (with a donation)?

At that price per unit I predict that the PJI trade will last longer than any of the watches...and that can be counted in months not years.

It was once suggested to me that the only objects that fall from the sky voluntarily are PJIs and Bird Sh!t. Apparently the two are interchangeable

Is it puke proof too? 90 paras each chucking a full vom bag at the PJI as they go out the door could soon exceed 5 atms.

Echo, dear boy... Since I'm one of the very few that can respond with any credibility here I'll remind you of the men the PJI's train... The one's that have the gonads you clearly lack...

Reminds me of a joke about the Falcons.

Whats the difference between a C130 full of RAF Falcons and a Hedgehog?

On a Hedgehog, the pricks are on the outside.

MGD provides another great encore! 10/10

Airborne-Aircrew I am with you.

The excuses I have heard range from:

'Why would I leave a perfectly servicable aircraft?'

to

'I could have done it...but I was injured.'

to

'You must be mad...'

There are those that have done it, and there are those that always said they were going to...next week....next year...they were scared!!

Anyway, who makes this fine watch?

G - Chairborne at this time

I have naught but respect for anyone who parachutes. But, what need is there for RAF PJI's in this mans shrinking RAF? Could the task of training those with far larger cahunas than I not be done by those who have an operationally relevant role?

Can somebody explain how on God's green earth PTS escaped the wrath of the SDSR when we're losing CAS & Int assetts hand over fist. With space becoming a major premium at an Oxon Secret Airbase surely they must have been in the frame to go. Last time I looked we were fighting a war where CAS & Int were very much needed and airborne assault wasn't. Before anybody try's to play the SF card, they could easily be trained at Bragg by a very small contingent of brevet stealers.

Airborne Aircrew.

Oh dear.......I take a lighthearted poke at PJIs (and not the entire Airborne Fraternity) and you take the hump. Recognising your pedigree as a Pruner I must admit I am disappointed.

With regard to your uneducated jibe at my gonads......at my age am I bovvered ? Not at all

Head down, buttocks clenched, position assumed.

I hope the watch is also shock proof.

Echo, dear boy...

Did you happen to miss the " " at the end of my post. It's there to indicate that I am being "evil" as the little pop up help thing tells you when you put your mouse over it. It indicates that I was after a bite... I suppose I could have gone through the trouble of going and getting this one - - but it seemed like a lot of effort and you were clearly an intelligent and good humoured chap so it didn't seem necessary.

I got my bite though...
