Well, we’ll see what happens when the boys go out for target practice in Pembroke and Somerset and Ord Road. I can hear the calls now…..
Yup and we wonder why they have such great aim and knowledge of weapons.
Terry, why don’t you just stop being so negative, at least they are doing something worthwhile, serving their country? They are giving something back to their community…if you look at the pictures, it seems as if their families were happy to see their loved ones displaying what they were taught during their two week Army boot camp… what about you, what are you doing to give back? Complain, complain and complain; does that get you anywhere….hummmm. Oh, by the way, do you think those gun shooting hooligans served any time in the Regiment….think about it….did they? And the last time I checked, the Bermuda Regiment has a Recruit Camp every year in January and they shoot weapons and sometimes throughout the year…. why don’t you just get a positive life.
Uncle Ruckus, you seem to have great aim and knowledge of what type of weapons these hoolgans have and are trained with….hummmm. Enlightened me, I would like to hear more….
