Gurkhas
-
Anyone know about the Gurkhas at Mt Vernon. Heard it's like a neighbourhood of sorts.
Basically interested in their community and ways of living -
oh, apparantly they relocate their entire families there, so in that area u'll see lots of nepalese woman and children as well.
-
Gurkhas are the best killers in the whole world man.. have any of you actually talk with one or make friends with one? -
Uh no... i just happen to live close by their Mt Vernon camp, and the gurkhas are always jogging past my house in the evenings wearing their windbreakers.

I got one ghurka kid in my sec 1 squad. Will be fun to observe if he becomes a smiling killer next time...

i had quite a number of gurkha kids under me long ago. Sad to say that they eventually became juvenile delinquents and either quit or got sacked.. quite ironic to see them becoming like this when their fathers are all in the Gurkha contingentOriginally posted by huaiwei:I got one ghurka kid in my sec 1 squad.

Aye which reminds me, there was this time ur sch one female cadet also cost us our lives at the PA range ok. hahaha, fire 18 rounds, 16 rounds miss, 1 round hit the frame and bounced off and all the pple in range immediately ducked, and the last round managed to hit dead bullseye on the target which was swinging around cause the bullet that hit the frame also hit the wire holding up the left side of the target. Scary man.. hopefully when i go for my BTC this wont happen to me again. hahaha!Originally posted by huaiwei:Aye....my school is much further from their colony then yours ok.
