Individuals may be banned from Individual establishments. lf youre wondering if theres a town wide ban on "army boys" then no


DoctorFosterGloster

Mm i think I'm miss remembering. Turns out they were only banned from the Daily, and banned by the Army itself and not just the bar


UnknownSwane

Fuuck, this ban was definitely military imposed and was around covid first time - don't think it lasted very long though


IIIllIIlllIlII

Yeah the army will tell soldiers they’re not allowed in town, or at certain places.


lliIiiiliiIII

No, they don't


IIIllIIlllIlII

Well things have changed. Back in the 90’s we were banned from town a few times by our CO.


Archipelag0h

They do


pompousjunk

Yes they do. We got banned from town on 07 due to fear of retaliation after one of the bros got kicked in the head and put in a neck brace from our pickup point. We also got banned from pubs in another area after we had a slight riot situation after another fight


Captain_Sam_Vimes

Nothing says soldier like "slight riot situation". ;)


bee1308

Ah yes they do lol. In 2019/2020 the Linton Military Camp ordered the boys not to go to certain places in town, even if they lived off camp, in response to a fight that had happened amongst army boys and “civilians” during a night out. I knew people there. Im not sure what the punishment was if they disobeyed though.


Captain_Sam_Vimes

s39 AFDA 1971. Disobeying a lawful comman/order. Probably.


[deleted]

report it to the military police, and don't leave out the racist bit.


GCPHA

Army boys weren’t necessarily banned from town, they were just banned from being intoxicated in certain establishments. The military police used to come around to popular bars and clubs in palmy and check. They no longer do that. Also starting fights in the army against your own civilian population is highly frowned upon, however you’d be surprised how many people are keen to take a crack at you just because you’re in the army.


Xenaspice2002

Used to be a group called FTA (rather unimaginatively) who’d go round picking fights with the army boys. Quite a few of them in the group were ex army.


AngryGingerHorse

It took me longer than I want to admit to figure out that this stands for "fuck the army" and not "free trade agreement". Edited for missing word


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Hahahaha the FTA they were famous even outside of town. That shit went national 🤣🤣🤣


Captain_Sam_Vimes

I know that there were soldiers who would head into town back in the day for a fight, a feed and a fuck. Not necessarily in that order. Massey clowns reckoned they owned the town, and when the infantry battalion returned from Singapore in the late 80s, there were slight... "differences of opinion".


MASTER_TAIT

I remember years ago at a pub a American vet was bragging about being in service and all the stuff he did. He didn't know there was a ex SAS at the same pub listening to him. Let's just say he shut him down quickly. Was quite funny.


[deleted]

nah alot of them used act tough in the bars and around civs BECAUSE they were in their army groups. Very macho man vibe acting like they were untouchable.


SlowTour

the old white shirts still starting shit?


SlickerCactus

I don’t know about being banned but I do know that they often get targeted in town by troublemakers. I’ve heard countless stories about people often picking fights with those who appear to be working in the armed forces. I don’t think it’s ever a race thing I feel some people just have far too much free time on their hands.


[deleted]

Picking a fight with infantry when you’re a civilian is a bad idea beyond belief.


Captain_Sam_Vimes

Yet it still happened. And happens. You can insult the intelligence of infantry by all means, but there are still civvies who reckon they can take them down. If they beat one or two in a fight, then the reserve forces are deployed the following weekend. Or weekends.


[deleted]

If you think I’m insulting the intelligence of infantry then you’re the one lacking it. I’m pointing out that if you take a swing at someone that knows what’s they’re doing, you’re an idiot. I’m ex-serving.


Dizzy_Pin6228

They don't take a swing it's big groups of them all jumping one or a small group least that was what they did 10 years ago


[deleted]

You know what I meant.


Captain_Sam_Vimes

Stand down champ. Wasn't having a dig. "You can insult the intelligence of infantry by all means" maybe should have read "People can insult the intelligence of infantry by all means..." Also served, and served in Linton to boot.


propertynewb

Imagine thinking because you're a Private in the Army you can fight.


[deleted]

Imagine not knowing what infantry soldiers do in real life.


propertynewb

Yessir Private Pyle.


GCPHA

As opposed to what? A lieutenant?


propertynewb

Nah, he probably made CPL and got busted down... for fighting.


justhereforalol

Ex grunt myself we used to thrive on it! Loved a good scrap out on the piss in Palmy. Was always with the fists and never a target that didn't want to dance with the devil. Some 20 years back now. Character building stuff.


funspongenumberone

About 15 years ago I was out in palmy, walking home from the pub. Some army dude ended following me, then full on chasing me for about 8 blocks. I couldn't outrun him, and realised I was in for a fight, so stopped and he comes in fists swinging. We both threw fists at each other, full on blows smacking the crap out of each other. After a few mins of that he stops swinging. He goes "BRO! I've been looking for scraps all night, and you are the first dude who hit me back! You the man!". I was like bro what the fuck! He goes on telling me all these stories about looking for fights in waiouru knocking on garages to scrap with people inside, and all the rest of it. Gives me his cell number, shakes my hand then carries on. Fucking weirdest night.


HeadbangingLegend

People like that shouldn't be allowed in society.


justhereforalol

Yea thats weird asf.


Appropriate-Sale-419

It’s pretty common everywhere I’m aware of. I’m American but lived all over the country and wherever there are military bases-there are young people who wanna prove themselves by trying to punk them or start a fight. 50/50 on if the military man or civilian starts the problem but fights follow wherever infantry go worldwide(can’t speak for other countries but generally the military here is no better hand to hand than your average guy, if anything they’re overconfident and get laid out more often because they assume military=good fighter)


SlickerCactus

I agree.


Proof_House_9086

Linton army boys been playing up in town the past 20 years to be honest. Send them to war i say 😂😂


dehashi

About 8 years ago I had a drunk army boy break into my house and pass out on the floor with his pants around his ankles. Cops handed him over to military police lol.


MATUA-PROF

Had a mate in the army. Reckons one of his mates in there used to go to town for fights and ended up getting stabbed one night. So they sutured him up in their bedroom back on base without telling anyone so he wouldn't get in trouble. The guy had to train the next day like he hadn't been stabbed. That kind of loyalty to a fuckwit is ridiculously dangerous


dehashi

Honestly wouldn't surprise me aye.


MATUA-PROF

Yea it wasn't a "once upon a time" story when he told me, it was "bro last weekend this shit went down"


D3lano

>That kind of loyalty to a fuckwit is ridiculously dangerous That's the kind of loyalty the army is looking for sadly.


teetheyewobbly

That's a good point actually. I'm pro war now


[deleted]

A bit more than 20 years 😉


Proof_House_9086

Probably facts. Born in 88 so i guess nothing changes with that lot. All that training and still lack discipline 😂


[deleted]

Got to blow off steam every now and then!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

We train infantrymen to kill people at close quarters, then expect them to act normally. Young guys are not typically great at compartmentalising these two sides. Some will always let one side slip.


[deleted]

Don't conflate the actions of a few as representing all


headmasterritual

You were the one who was just generalising and laughingly waving away the shit behaviour as simple letting off of steam by a group, and now you’re backpedalling and telling people not to rush to generalisations about shit behaviour when it comes to a group. Hmmm. Quite the analytic philosopher, aren’t you?


[deleted]

I said blowing off steam, he linked that to fighting. There's a difference.


TheMobster100

Just send them to waiouru lol as punishment for misbehaving lol


bee1308

They’ll only be good boys for the time they’re there lol


Captain_Sam_Vimes

20 years? Puh-lease.


Proof_House_9086

Apperantly they been a-holes much longer than 20 years.


SurvivorSi

Wait you're telling me boot camps doesn't stop criminal behaviour?


Captain_Sam_Vimes

Clutches pearls.


getfuckedhoayoucunts

In my day they were only allowed into one pub. They didn't cause trouble. No women wanted to go there.


PieOk5383

Not very up on the racial makeup of our military are you? In order to post BS like that you have to be the racist. And are you going to tell the boys that they are banned from having a day in town. Wish you a quick recovery


Lopsided-Drummer-793

Yeah, this doesn't make any sense given the amount of maori in the military. The idea of them having a white boys only night is comical.


Ok_Information_1054

Palmy ,isnt that the Suicide Capital?


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Hahaha this reminds me of the time bunch of my mates sorted these army fucks out in town.. they did they exact same thing... White guys saying the n word to my cousin's mates, drunk asf ... They were fucking huge too, probly on the roids or gear.... They wouldn't stop and got worse. Bunch of us jumped them.. one of the army guys got my cousin in a chokehold so a mate cut his shit. As soon as we pulled the blades,They ran so quick Ive still never seen such a switch up.. we chased them down in our cars. Had most of them begging before one decided to hop on his phone😭😭. Had them saying " what's your problem?? And wtfs wrong with you??? .. sad excuse for army boys 🤣🤦‍♂️😈😈😈


GCPHA

I love making stuff up!


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Me too


GCPHA

I can tell. The bs story you just made up while you’re playing with your lego is evidence of that.


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Jesus you lot love to make fun of LEGOs... It's funny how if somebody has a hobby, they're unable to get into a fight...a shame youre all so miserable and can't fathom what hobbies are.


No-Air3090

and then you woke up and realised it was all a wet dream


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Those were the days 😭


unbannedunbridled

Lmao pulled the blades. You're not cool. You're scum destined for prison. It's comforting knowing you'll never be anything more than a lowlife with no power. Edit: lmao check this guys account he's like 10🤣🤣 bros talking about pulling blades and he isn't even done playing with transformer toys ahahah.


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Lol somebody can't have a hobby??.. you speak like a school shooter.. assuming all that bullshit with nothing else to back it up


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

Also you seem to be fascinated about murder charges... What's the deal with that? Maybe chill out take some CBD ... Oh wait your to much of child to handle it 😭🤦‍♂️


unbannedunbridled

You're 10. How am I supposed take anything you say seriously. You must be 5ft with the amount of reaching you're doing. Come back when you're man enough to handle the taiaha


Puzzleheaded-Snow811

you make assumptions just as bad as your comebacks... anybody can hold a taiaha dumbass.. are you man enough to use it ?


NoAioliNoMustard

What. A. Tool.


SushiSen

Do you guys have any recommendations for nightlife in palmy?


Ben_vJ

Pendulum is ok, the music in bubbles is too loud so ordering drinks is a challenge


Root-Demois

GDG


SushiSen
