My attitude is totally born into me. I can be annoying at points, I know, but when I get excited about something, i just can't help it. Monty Python's version of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is totally my theme song.
My dad's getting sick of my "DAD! Only 16 days until I go!" proclamation every morning, hehe.
Thanks! ;D

I don't want to spoil the fun... >
Mud Recce Man said:no not at all...just wait for it. ;D
Zoomie... ;D
Mud Recce Man said:Well, when I was in Boot, anyone in Blue we called zoomie...its all in fun. You get to call them grunt/crunchies/herbies/mud gunners/zipperheads/wrench-benders etc etc. Its really good fun when it is kept fun and civil (well, as civil as recruits are when all full of pi$$ and vinegar and all that...).
Don't forget chicklet bingo either. ;D
Sparkplugs said:Aw man, I am so looking forward to basic!
what do they call airplane mechanics?
and what's chicklet bingo?
Mud Recce Man said:Some things are best left as a surprise aren't they?
Chicklet bingo. The IMPs (used) to have chicklets in the lunch menu ( it could be supper. I used to use Mess tins and forget my name sometimes). Anyways, ask who wants to play chicklet bingo? All those who are in, open their pack of 2 chiclets (spelled wrong earlier, my bad) and look at the flaps for the number on it. Whoever has the highest number...wins...all the chiclets.
Best part of the day sometimes. Of course, we never actually took all the gum, just bragging rights.
Sounds fun eh zoomie wrench-bender?
