Because most of them are thick wannabe soldiers but mostly because they bully you through basic training.

Not even close. I once witnessed a discussion (Akrotiri) between a RM and a Rockape, where the said Rockape tried explain why rockapes were on par with Marines. At first we thought it was a bit of a pisstake but he was deadly serious, as were his oppos. It didn’t end well.

The British navy was formed between 882 and 897AD under King Alfred.
The British navy became the Royal Navy under the Naval Discipline Act of 1661.

Depends on what you done, what service you were in and how much you could drink in one night.

I KNEW I'd get a mention here, lol.
Great thread, can't really disagree. Though I'd just say the others are all just very jealous really.
PTSD. One (now former) poster in particular, who seemed to be in perpetual distress, and gave good reasons why, not that he seemed to be aware, the poor sod.
When you join the RN, you join for the travel, you get to see places you never would as a civvy.
When you join the Army , you join to kill people.
When you join the Bootnecks, you’re probably too handsome to join the aforementioned services.( I’ve never seen an ugly Royal Marine)
When you join the RAF, you probably fancy the Armed Forces as an idea, but you don’t want to get involved in any kind of discomfort or anything that will make you uncomfortable.
When you join the Rockapes, you join to err, nope, I can’t think of a good reason.

The RN don't care what you think of them they're the senior service and get to go to the Caribbean. And they got the nukes.
The Army kinda care a bit. But they will never admit it as there's loads of them. Safety in numbers.
The RM aren't bothered what you double pussers muts think. Get the wets in whilst we chat the ladies up.
The RAF are so concerned what you think they've hired a consultant to remind you of the battle of Britain.

If you a good explanation of The Naval language I highly recommend "Jackspeak" by the late great Rick Jolly.
Its a must read for any Civvy

Ok, to kind of continue the theme, how come we have the Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce but not a Royal Army ?

The English Civil War. The army turned on the King.
Some regiments are royal but the collective is the British Army.

The Flux Capacitor
RAF in a nutshell
PSF - admin - useless, will lose all paperwork you hand to them. Good at finding extra stuff for you to pay. Good at passing their job onto you. Bullet proof incompetence.
Medics - clueless. Hope you don’t need help, if you do tubigrip and brufin will be all you get.
Doctors - just don’t like being in work. Like keeping you waiting while the have a coffee break. Coffee breaks after every patient.
Stores - should issue stuff out but seem to think everything in there is theirs so want to keep it all. Will not give out stuff if there is only 1 left.
Fire - hated by all until they need a favour or a crap job turns up or a spot of cleaning. Mostly found polishing turds.
RAF Reg - everyone hates these even their own mothers. They think everyone loves them, like scousers.
RAF police - all bullied at school now they are the “big dogs” dishing out the parking tickets. Used to work on the gate, couldn’t grasp the barrier up barrier down concept.
RAF band - comedy job
RAF Vicar/Padre - Wiley foxes, will catch you on guard duty when they know you can’t escape.
RAF officers - Posh, useless spoilt brats. No common sense, not a days work in them.
RAF Pilots - think they are maverick but more like goose. Plus above officer status
RAF aircrew - Fat people not clever enough to steer the plane but want to fly, partial to a packed lunch....meant for the passengers
PTIs - fitness freaks that just pose in mirrors in the gym. Training involves shouting ‘Go’ in a gimpy voice. Bring nothing to the party personality wise. Supposed to specialise in a sport
RAF Reg - hated that much we mention it twice
ATC - couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. These are the people that dream of the stars and actually think they are talking to them. Usually think they are a pilots best friend because they said he can land. Fancy car park attendants.
MT Drivers - usually the people you wouldn’t trust on a skateboard. They think they are an advanced driver but in reality they just didn’t get a good enough score for another job
MT admin - too old or broken to drive or possibly never have driven in their life, usually bitter and twisted and will take their frustrations out on the next customer for infinity.

What trade were you? I was PSF. By the way we overpaid you on a travel claim and you owe us £1. 39.
