Then how did Julia Gillard get in? :hmmm:

 

Or if you mean the Army, that could be true. All of our lieutenants had volunteered. Only 1 of the 4 had gone to university, and he flunked out after 2 years. :p

 

The operations sergeant (me), company clerk, commo sergeant and supply sergeant were all uni grads - and all conscripts.

"FUCK"

 

Describes many emotions, no other word can be used in such varied grammatical nuances. It can be used as a noun, (I don't give a fuck), as an adjective, (its a fucking beauty) as a verb in its transitive form (the game was fucked by the weather) and the intransitive form (he well and truly fucked up).

 

Everyday expressions show its true versatility.:

 

Aggression: FUCK YOU!

Apathy: Who gives a fuck anyway?

Confusion: What the fuck.......?

Denial: I'll be fucked if he did!

Derision: he fucks everything up!

Despair: Fucked again...

Difficulty: I don't understand this fucking business!

Directions: Fuck off!

Disbelief: UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!

Disgust: Fuck me.

Displeasure: What the fuck is going on here?

Fraud: I got fucked by the car dealer.

Greetings: How the fuck are ya?

Lost: Where the fuck are we.

Panic: Let's get the fuck out of here!

Perplexity: I know fuck all about it!

Pleasure: I fucking couldn't be happier.

Resignation: Oh, fuck it!

Retaliation: Up your fucking ass!

Suspicion: Who the fuck are you?

Trouble: I guess I'm fucked now.

An old soldier once told me, "I'd rather be king of the shit (an NCO) than the shit of the King (officers)".

You work it out.

Our feeling was that officers were only around to take credit for what the NCOs did and get medals for it. My father, a WWII corporal, told me "Every time you see a medal on an officer's chest, figure his men earned it."
