Had Enough, could not agree with you more!

The likes of triangle drifter , leaper,flikel, are louts who just sit on their backsides and complain all the time.When the Regiment is called out after a hurricane, these blanks are sitting at home complaining.

As I have said before, and I will say it to you.If you hate Bermuda and what it’s people do, go home.

As David Lopes says, “there are flights leaving the island every day, there is one to take you back home to wherever you come from”

Alot of people talking but not alot of knowledge coming out. Theres nowhere near as much full time staff as you all think there is and all the people that dont show up to camp when they are suppose to are the ones that give these full time staff the most work to do

Valid questions IMO. At on point the Regiment budget was about equal to the fire services. Must remember to check for more up to date numbers.

What do they do at Warwick Camp all week? Do they practice truck loading for storm cleanup?

You know what gets me is people who are always quick to complain about salaries other people make who actuall work full time. Become a full time soldier and you’ll maybe get the same benefits, otherwise stop complaining.

Clearly you are “in the know” about what the FT employees do. As a conscript, you must be privy to so much of the inner workings of the regiment.

As a conscripted soldier who’s almost finished… most full time do nothing.

Just silly projects and paper work that takes a few hours tops to complete but somehow manages to take months in between the several camps per year.

Do we need the regiment in its present form? The regiment has many full-time officers and staff many whom earn 6 figure salaries.

Do we really need all these full time soldiers for a part-time army? What do the full timers normally do all day? When this camp is over, the recruits will attend Warwick Camp one or two evenings a week for a few hours…what do the full timers do all day, every day?
