Re: Sgt Sparks did not join OTU
Bloody shame, I admire his spirit!
Although if he had wanted to fight that great, he would have lied about his age......

Re: Sgt Sparks did not join OTU
Actually, seriously now - and no bawdiness at the back...
My eldest and pimpliest is 14. If he were to show an interest (unlikely, but even so) and found himself equipped with the necessary kit (even less likely), are we an 18s and over show or could he, in the best traditions of the service, lie about his age? I'm a bit worried, because I think he'd be quite good.
(I mean, it's only three or four years away!!!)

Re: Sgt Sparks did not join OTU
My 18 year old son (call sign "MadBenny") is interested , but I've told him not until after the leaving certificate exams this summer.
I think the term "Uncle" might soon take on a new resonance.

Re: Sgt Sparks did not join OTU
I think I'd feel a little uncomfortable with minors in tangmere. Not sure about others feelings?
Re: Sgt Sparks did not join OTU
I'm not anti but we'd have to clean up our act and keep it clean. I'm not sure we could sustain it.

Yeah and they'd be too mature for us!
18 is a good cutoff point.

In selecting the motto... 'all for one and one for all'... I have done so because it expresses what should be the creed to every Fighter Pilot. Never forget that you are an essential cog in the wheel, and if you break or fail it will let down your brother pilots, and the grimness of war allows for no such weakness.

Re: Sgt Sparks did not join OTU
And that is based on maturity - any of us who play FPS's can easily assert to the fact that there a lot of 18's out there that we would never want in TP :-o :DTom wrote:Yeah and they'd be too mature for us!
