I in no means mean to take my anger out on those like Raymond Phule etc that frequent these pages but I have to get this off my chest.
Tonight i left the club that I have worked at for over 2 years now and went to get a kebab on the way home.
i bumped into some squaddies on the way hgome and had had a good conversation with them. As I got up to leave I met a fist from the person that was supposed to be their commanding officer. it hit me on the lip and I felt it but being 6ft I didnt go down, he was then shouting at me as his mates dragged him back, one of the friends I had been chatting to came back and talked to me and said 'he gets like this'.
Is this supposed to be some sort of reconcile???? I still have a fat lip and I know that I could have put any one of them on the floor with one punch.
I am just really angry at the moment and really wanted to share this with someone,
Mark

Yes thankyou flynt
I am in no means trying to group people under the forces together in this.
This is a one off incident (hopefully) where things have gone wrong, if I knew names then something more might be able to done but I am just angry.
I had had a wonderful night out and it only takes one person to spoil it I will let things settle and practice my btb weave

The only time I've been hit in a public place has been by a drunken squaddie. Broke my nose! It still messes up 9 years later.

So this guy MUST have a C.O., right? And that C.O. would probably want to hear about this, right?

I was actually thinking about this post last night...
How old was this guy, a CO usually is a high ranking officer and they are late 30's early 40's. Could have been an their OIC Officer in Charge. Then again could have been a whole group of officers seen as how officers and enlisted dont mix too often.
Dude still my advice remains you should find out who he is where he works and file a formal complaint and definatly threaten leagle action.
Dont worry about offending me on something like this. But just to settle my curiosity would you please elaborate on bumping and your descussion after the so said bump?
They had no right ot hit you but maybe something you said pissed em off and they hit you. They should have had more controle but they didnt. I am not saying it was your fault but hey you might have deserved what happend.
Dom, knowing you, you probably deserved everything you got! Frankly if you were in America and said the wrong thing you should consider yourself lucky if all you got was a broken nose. Then again Dom's perfect and never says anything with out thinking first!

I am happy to leave the situation up to karma to sort it out, it will be more hassle than it is worth to try and find out who he was and therfore get some kind of report to his CO.
I only posted last night because I was angry at the time and it is just asomething that will go down to experience.
It does still annoy me that there are people in this world who will act in this way though.

Squaddies are any of the lower ranks in the British army (eg sergeant and below).
He was probably a sergeant with a group of corprals. Or something like that.
But if he was a commissioned officer then a complaint of violence against a member of the public could destroy his career.
Just a thought for you to mull.

C@ntus, your right, but the deminor of the officer is what is more important. Lessons must be learned. I must admit that we (Marines) get little slack when we get into fights with civilians, now if Alcohol is mixed in then it becomes super serius.

Ooh no. I think you misunderstood Ray. I was trying to tempt him into pressing charges with the idea that it could ruin the guys life.
It was my malicious streak coming to the fore.

hi guys, not posted for ages but thought i'd pop my nose in on this one...
my boyfriend (yes that happy chappy spinning poi boy commonly found dancing in parks to plasticman) was for quite a few years what is known as a "squaddie" and yes he was a twat!
its like some kind of brainwashing thing quite scary really but now he's a different person and knows what caused it.
so i'd like to ask what squaddies really are? ar they truly roughheads with no respect throwing themselves into fights just for the sake of it... or are they simply kids thrown into a regime in which physical prowess is seen as all and sundry.
My brother gets into fights with squaddies regularly but thats cos hes a dafty!! he's just gone to cyprus (squaddie land) and hopefully wont get in too much trouble.
Mark I'm really sorry this happened to you, i'm still recovering from my staff stalking psycho so many many hugs to you

In case anyone was wondering.

You can be an officer from the age of 21 here. So he could still have been. But he was more than likely a corporal or similar.

Well if you have 4 years of college you can be an officer actually its a bachlors degree. How long OCS is I dont know.
Well I dont know if your army follows the same rules as our armed forces. It is illeagle for officers to fratonise with enlisted outside of shop or unit functions.

Squaddies? Where?
You should try living in Colchester, we have the biggest army barracks in the UK. It took me about half an hour a few months ago to get rid of this old guy in a pub who was trying to recruit me into the army. "Yeah, and that long hair of yours will have to go, between you and me I don't mind it, but everyone else will think you're a poof"

Dude that really sucks, I hope we see you tonight, fat lip and all.
If I'd have been there I'd definitely have tried to get his name and number, because I'm a git.
Karma will get to him in the long run, but someone still has to act as it's agent.
I know a couple of decent chaps who have joined the army. I know plenty of violent twats who haven't.
