Ridiculous things your military does

[Nicksyllvania]

We issue .22 revolvers and expect our lads to fire at each other in the proper upright stance, one hand behind the small of their back and fire upon each other in a composed manner.

surely .22 is not a cartridge of the proper gentleman

Indeed, but this is not a practice of a proper gentleman, but a gentry in training.

[American Island]

On a ship, the Commanding Officer (Who Officially owns the ship) must ask the XO (executive officer) to eat in the officers' hall. The XO is the owner of the hall. It was said, "When will the XO said no to the captain?" "When he is tired of the Navy."

PS, Joke. A DOD speaker always show up late. The people love him. His boss is fond of him. But he shows up late, and the boss is done with it.
He says, "Jim, the people love you, the DOD loves you, but you can't show up late. You were in the military, Jim. What happened when you showed up late then?"
Jim: " They said to me, 'Good Morning Admiral.' "

Calling a NCO "Sir" in the presence of an Officer is punishable by flogging.

Not addressing the NCO as "Sir" in lieu of the presence of an Officer is punishable by flogging.

SSTO Capable Hovertank Drones. Designed for re-entry under combat conditions. That is all.

Everyday excersises for a private
- 450 push-ups on polished ice
- Hour of swimming in almost-frozen water
- 5km sprint run

well, ridiculous, but it makes our soldiers top-class.

1. I hope your soldiers wear gloves or take frequent breaks, otherwise they'll risk frostbite.
2. Loss of consciousness occurs after about 10 minutes in water that cold.
3. It's impossible to sprint for that long.

A shit ton of fish. Duh. What at all is environmentally unfriendly about fishing with high explosives? It is how most people here fish. would fish if we had any left.

I'm not the only one?

If you're out of grenades you could always use your trousers as a net. /deadpanfuckingserious.

I mean fish. We aren't good at conserving resources.

I don't really RP much. I may continue RPing at NS as well since I like the appeal of the retardedly massive scale where losing a million soldiers in a day in a war is considered a small loss.

Lawl. That's not epic but it wins for being fucking funny.

[Judea City States Ally]

after reading about 10 pages of this topic it seems so funny to me. Someone will post something ridiculous there military does, and then people will respond and quote there posts saying how ridiculous it is. Posting something ridiculous and stupid is the point of this thread, instead now people comment on how stupid the stupid thing is and have arguments about it. It is so funny

A million a day keeps the doctor away!

I will sob like a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert who just got hugged by It. :/

Deadass. Anemos is so goddamn epic that he just cannot leave.

[Malgrave]

The Malgravean Military take even the slightest opportunity to drink a nice cup of tea. Rumours have circulated that during a recent exercise a pilot of the Malgravean air-force was seen attempting to drink from a flask while undergoing some training.

Get drunk on duty when the senior officer isn't looking.

EDIT: Unless the senior officer joins them.

That's what I meant. When the senior officer joins them they drink when he is looking.

Ohright, sorry I'm half asleep and low on comprehension right now.

Some say charging a subscription to the people for defense is ridiculous.

In their spare time, Gallan Royal Marines enjoy snorting beverage powders and drink mixes. They also enjoy attempting to squirt Tabasco sauce into each others' eyes from across the barrack.

[Anemos Major]

The drinking games of the Fyrkondierikan Rangers have been labelled 'arcane' and 'a threat to the continued existence of humanity', amongst other things.

The only ridiculous part here is that your airforce isn't outfitting your fighters with a sepcialised thermos style containers that use a pressurisation system to allow them to provide the pilot with hot tea across the entire rnage of G-loadings he might experience.

Unless of coruse it wasn't a fighter but the question then is: why use a thermos? Why not get the trolley dolly* to brew some up for you.



* in most cases in the Crookfur Armed Forces the Trolley Dolly will actually be a grumpy laodmaster who will kick you off his plane if you fail to ask for tea in the correct fashion.

[Mossat]

Due to the fact that the Mossacian military is a multi-racial fighting force that includes non-humans amongst its ranks, racism between soldiers of any kind is not tolerated.  That being said, it is also a federal offense to commit an unprovoked assault on a soldier on the basis of race alone.

Mossacian strategic airstrips doctrine involves massed long-range cruise missile attacks, launched from a myriad of strategic bombers (the Tu-122 Blackjack seems to be more commonly used tactic right now).

The Mossacian armed forces uses a wide myriad of vehicles, weapons and gear.  Each of the forty-nine Armed Groups is equipped with a different set of gear and vehicles.

The Armed Forces of the Commonwealth stockpiles a huge variety of vehicles of all sorts.  At times when these vehicles are not needed they are stockpiled in hardened storage facilities until the time that they are needed.

Strategic defense doctrine also dictates the use of ONDEMP (orbital nuclear detonation EMP) strikes to intercept massed air attacks, either encroaching or leaving Mossacian airspace.
