Something's up in downtown Arabia.....
 

...or not as the case may be!
This is the third time I have tried to post this thread and each time it has been unsuccessful. I am now convinced there is some sort of conspiracy, or I am a complete biff with technology- both are highly plausable.
The question is a simple one: does the USAF put Bromide in the food or water served at its' overseas bases to control the sexual urges of the deployed personnel? Many here are adamant that this must be the case because nobody has been feeling themselves recently, if you get my drift. Maybe the've been doing it for years and its all well documented and perfectly legal? Maybe we're just going mad in the heat?
Anyone been experiencing anything similar recently? Anyone heard any similar stories?
Trying to be subtle, without beating around the bush.... Oooh...erm..I mean..
TLP:uhoh:

No, it doesn't affect the sex drive, just the hard drive.

Probably accounts for the problem you had :}

From what he's saying PN it's getting his "drive hard" that seems to be the problem:E

A serious reply for once.....

During my basic training (IOT) many years ago (1987) I was told of the bromide ruse. "It's in the tea" they told me. (after several weeks).

Having said that, I never got a single boner the whole time. Not even the morning glory. It may have been bromide. It may have been tiredness. I don't know to this day.

I have airmen friends from the early 90's era. They were told that they too were drinking tea filled with bromide in the mess. They too failed to get wood in their whole time there at Swinderby.

Coincedence? I personally think so.

Are the yanks using bromide in AFG? I doubt it. They'd be in so much sh*t these days for administering something without permission. Lawyers R us would have a field day.

It's one of those long pervading myths I'm afraid.

I'm off to polish my stiff johnson with a cup of tea on the go.

Based at Valley no wonder you are having to polish your own rocket:E

Obviously. I'm a scaley though.

But Wooton Bassett has obviously become a haven of interesting Wiltshire lovelies since I last visited? I'm sure you cop off every damn night!
Wow, I wish I were you.

"The question is a simple one: does the USAF put Bromide in the food or water served at its' overseas bases to control the sexual urges of the deployed personnel?"

Don't know about the USAF but maybe the RAF does. We suspected this when I was at at Wendover Tech. in the early 1960s. It may be true as I think it's finally starting to kick in.:(

QFIdude,

Married for 27 years, live in delightful Chippers, a son aged 19 and daughter 18 so I am hardly likely to be partaking of the fleshpots in Wooty B:rolleyes:

My quip was not aimed at you per se but, having endured a couple of years of that special Valley local hospitality it was directed at the Viet Taff tw@ts that occupy the otherwise beautiful island where you reside:ok:

I was on a instructors training course (alright, it was back in 1969) with an RAF cook. He was adamant that bromide was not added to the tea. His words were "if bromide is RAF issue, tell me what is its section & reference number (NATO stock number for the more recent arrivals)"

I bet that same Cook added his own special sauce to the occassional meal.
No NATO stock number for THAT !! :eek:

"Extra Special Sauce" is usually only available in the Nimrod galley on selected flights - allegedly! :hmm: :)
There is no section and ref (NATO stock No) as it is (man)ufactured and produced locally

Not only the cooks, they used to get the jankers wallers and it was known that the permanent staff stews were far game (I was going to add "if you had the balls" but it seems wholly un necessary):mad:
PA

Well all I can say is that when I was a Swinderby (July-Aug 1976) if They did put anything in My tea it did not have the desired effect 10 days on Jankers for staying out all night with a Lincoln lovely can attest to that:ok:

My ex-wife is better than bromide!!!

MOG

Best one I've read in a while. Had me in stitches.:}

I have to tell you that this allegation goes back to at least 1964 in the Australian Army. No its not true- its just rotten tasting cheap tea.

I remember holding at Valley in 1957 with fond memories. She came from Holyhead. :cool: :cool: :cool:
