AIBU to leave the forces ?

[PrivateMrGin]

Have name changed but am a regular poster.

I'm in the forces stationed near York.

Now don't get me wrong, I understand the forces is all about repetition and following orders. But on a regular basis we ( there are probably around ten thousand of us. ) have manoeuvres which involve a forced march up a bloody great hill.

This wouldn't be so bad, but once we get to the top we're told we're 'up' before rapidly being marched to the bottom where it's announced that we're 'down'.

I mean WTAF !

And then we march to the half way station where we're told we're ' neither up nor down' . It's really starting to get to me, and I'm sure I can hear children's voices. A kind of distant singing that comes from the sky.

AIBU to leave ? I keep hearing reports that all the Kings men and all the Kings horses are needed for an urgent humanitarian mission but we're stuck marching up and down this sodding hill !

I think the King's men are being sent on a fruitless task tbh, bloody waste of tax payers money!

At least with your current position you know where you are.

At least you don't have to keep trying to put a bloody egg back together!

Ah - see you have heard of our mission already - it's not all it's cracked up to be tbh

YABU You must do what the grand old Duke says.

At least you don't stink of vinegar and don't have a stupid sister.

And you are not being forced to eat curds and whey, in the presence of a spider

I can sympathise OP. cough

I drive a bus and all I hear all bloody day long is how the wheels go round and round and wipers go swish swish swish.

I left last year after 10 years. It's not too bad on the outside

It can be a struggle at times though x
