''Get it done...'' -Though as an NCO I admit to having done that once too much too.

''Shut Up the Yap'', ''Shut Up Smiling'' , ''Shut Up Lookin' Around'' , ''Shut Up, Swaying in the wind'' - The list is endless..!

Brilliant and true!

I HATE when people call pouches...pooches.....! Why?!? I dont see any labradors hanging out of their belts.

I also as a rule hate the over-use of American phraseology. There's always one twat who has watched Black Hawk Down too many times. Hooo ahh etc.

The infamous Theart Iompaigh Arás is always a good one.

When looking for volunteers "Hands up who takes a medium smock?" *hands shoot up* "Very good, report to the kitchens"

Or often found Pinned up on the recruit billet doors;

Sign up sheet for Underwater Knife Fighting Course / Butts team for Mortar Range.

Or the old favorites "get up to the CQ and get me:"

A Bucket of steam
DPM paint
A leg of salmon
Skirting Board Ladder
Sky Hooks
Keys to the square
Glass hammer
Some forks for the soup

Strangely enough (and no, I've never said the above phrase) I did once see a fifty cent coin on the ground by the square - I was so surprised that when I tried to pick it up I kicked it into the gutter accidentally. Ah well.

My training NCO's used to use that alot, even if we were marching Perfectly, necks to collar. They just like to say it!!!

Shoot at Will.................that poor sod gets it every time!!:p

but you were eyeballing the cprl, werent you.

Yeah right.
