You're killing me with the weather reports there....
However my HLTA is in Dec and I did promise the boss lady a nice trip.....
Flying Bravo (Baker): Normally, a signal flown ashore when the firing range is hot, or afloat while handling ammunition or fuel. When a woman is menstruating, she is said to be 'flying Bravo.' The Bravo (originally 'Baker' from the phonetic alphabet) alphabet signal flag is red. Sometimes also seen as 'flying Maggie's Drawers.'

Teeps74 said:"Flying Maggies Drawers" I found a reference through google. Let's just say, it is in reference to women's underwear (duh) and um, it usually is in reference to the red range flag flown when the range is live. Now, who still uses this term, I have no idea...

Yeah? Tell that to those who send the guys to fight them. As for me, I will fight, and have fought, for my buddies and myself.
The US? I have defended those colours also, as have many other Canadians and Brits.
Just remember this,if it takes war to defend your right to condemn it and burn your own flag then do not condemn those who fight to give you the right to do so.
A wise man once said " A true patriot is one who can condemn a government in peace but support it in time of war"
Now you speak of ... ( 16 hours ago by Canadian2Para)
Now you speak of things that have no relevance to the Military defence of a nation,only to the fight itself.
In which case,speaking as a professional, I will leave that to the amateurs.
If you want to understand Canadian and British Military humour read "Flying Maggie's Drawers",itmay just broaden your horizons.
As for the Argentine Marines,they were quite happy to do likewise when they got the chance, kick Brit ass that is.And they did it exceedingly well.LOL.

We walked back to our positions laughing and spent some time talking to the captured Argie Marines about the charge who laughed just as loudly as we did at their conscripts lack of balls.
We gave them cigarettes, rations and water. We even shook their hand in farewell as they headed off to the rear.
After all they were Marines,our Brothers-in-Arms.
C2P. Ex RM, Arctic Warfare Cadre. Who took part in that action.

Issues doesn't describe them OWDU...Now he's a Falkland's vet too...
Shec said:you called it back around page 16 Bud, he was in the Falklands. We'll stilll need to confirm that it was as the first man ashore or not
Comment from Canadian2Para
I was making tribute to the crew of U33 which I dived on. She was sent into the deep by a Canadian Corvette.

I can't tell if someone using the same handle either:
1) claims to have done some scuba diving around the sunken boat, or
2) claims to have been on the U-33 during the WW 2.
Curiouser and curiouser....
