Please note this is old and he was in the Gay Navy not the Royal Navy.

LMAO!!!!

Someone did him dirty there.

They probably knew the captain didn't know anything about shooting, so they mounted the scope backwards to get a laugh...

100%

My old XO (rip) was a right cunt he wouldn't put up with that boolsheet. He tried to punch someone in Vegas at the hotel, missed and face planted. Got carpet burn on his forehead.

I was having a woodbine the next day and I asked him about his head, he was like fuck off you know what I did.

And I did. It was on video haha.

Do regular navy dudes get much practice shooting? I'd imagine on a ship, it's more about missiles and torpedoes.

I only went on a ship for 3.5 weeks.

Did no shooting in preparation.

In little under 6 years I fired a weapon 3 times I think.

Once in basic.

Once on IRT (deployment training )

And once to zero a rifle before guard duty



A friend of mine took a draft on a civvy ship working protection. He did more shooting.

Hold up I'm sure we shot before deployment to zero our rifles so add 2 more to that

So basically less than the average gangbanger on a weeknight then?

Like there is a difference. You still come back coupled up with other sailors.

Yep. It was preposterous. I never shot a pistol in the military. Ever.

Settle down devil dog. If it wasn't for the royal navy there would be no marines.

Of course -- shooting loads; they're 'semen' [SIC] after all.

Regular just qualifies with a .22 in basic.

SA80

The world shittest rifle.

 

[SongExotic2]

But you do get a bayonet. Much easier to just go out stabbing.

They get lots of practice shooting loads in each other's buttholes.
