Looking to exchange emails

10 Jan 2011

Hi, not sure whether this fits here, but couldn't really put it in "let's meet up" as I'm not able to for at least the next 5 months.
I'm one of over 4000 British Servicemen serving in Afghanistan and am looking to exchange emails with any ladies or couples. I'd love to read about your experiences and "chat" with you. Due to bandwidth restrictions video chat is not an option out here, but we do have pretty good access to the internet. I've been reading the stories section on here and have really enjoyed some of the tales contained there. Now I'm looking to extend that to email chats with you.
Anyone interested can contact me through here initially. Hope to hear from you soon.

Wishing you well and a safe return

sorry mate but i really hate the guys that need to say they are in the forces to attract women/ couples! I served in the RAF for a good while and really think that those who use it to get meets, are putting a finger up those, like myself, who spent months away missing thier families and risking thier lives in the name of the job. I served to get some self respect and to make my misses proud Not to come home with tales and scars to get my leg over.
Im sorry if this offends mate, but seriously. Id expect it from a young lad of 19 not from someone with a bit more experience!

I'm not a 100% sure but please correct me if I'm wrong but are you supposed to be identifying the fact that you are (a)a serving soldier and (b)you are posted in afganistan, on the internet.
Particularly as the threat level in the uk is currently set as substantial and I believe this section of this site is open to none members.

A free member wouldn't be able to bomb or shoot him from the other end of the keyboard so he will be quite safe

Some people prefer serving forces personel than those with a sand bag and swinging the light. All down to personal choice

I bow to your knowledge and experience. Not sure if his CO would agree.

I don't see anything on here that identifies Thargor, his rank, regiment or position so where is the problem.
A lot of us on here have served and some in right shitholes as a lot of the lads are now and as far as i am concerned a few mails etc can give you something to think about other than where the next projectile is likely to come from.
I hope people can put their anti war thoughts aside and support the troops even if it is just to send a few messages to help boost moral.
At the moment the war in Afghanistan seems a long way off to most but just remember that one day it could return to the shores of Europe and who will you be needing then.
Here is to wishing all the guys a safe return.

Or even the fact that what he says is true and he is indeed in the army and serving away or just using that as an excuse to try and get email addys and contacts. dunno

I always err on the side of caution when I read posts like these, cos saw it too many times before,maybe genuine or maybe not.
Good luck if it is and good luck if it's not genuine, cos if the female members find oot that it's con they will probably cut his balls off lol

Your quest for self respect is not Thargor's concern.
I love girls in uniform (not met any here but I have on uniform dating), and I expect that many others like men/women in uniform too.
I don't see that he is delivering an insult to you or anyone else either so how you arrive at that conclusion I have no idea.
There are loads of soldiers that are solely looking for a quick shag and nothing else - and they are in good company on this site, so you should get over yourself.
