Evening chaps, ive gotta do a 10min presentation/talk on "anything military". Now seeings as im in the army you would have thought I could come up with a few ideas but...ive just finished work, my brain is smashed and i cant find anything that my collegues will find interesting haha. So any subject ideas welcome!

How about a talk about fighter jets or something? Or any good subject to put in loads of cool pictures :cool:

Talk about how the Russians are going to invade the world in the near future

Or the history of the AK-47, theres loads of it

Considering you're Army, why not berate and poke fun at the Navy?

Talk about our carriers.

im in a tri-service environment at the mo so that wouldnt go down too well!

Do a talk on the weapons you use and the vehicles involved in the military. should take about 10minutes, go through some of the equipment thats used, and so on

Yeh i was thinkin of picking some kind of weapon platform but i really want to do something with a bit of humor in...if thats possible :s

Dark88 · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:31

The army in 50 years: discuss.

Anksy · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:32

Humor.....hmmmm...talk about how British forces will rule the world one day with there sa80's ? thats funny as it is!

Xcept1 · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:34

Haha the A2 is a reliable weapon, not the best obviously but it does the job!

Anksy · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:36

A2 is the upgraded sa80 isn't it ?

do a presentation on cheese! easy 10 mins there! all the different types, what categories they go in to, charts on maps of where the majority of cheese is made etc, and taster samples! Will go down a right treat! Because everyone know officers sit in their offices drinking tea with cheese and crackers during wars

Either that or get as much info on china and their weapons etc and get as much valid points as to why we should invade them now, rather than when they get better technology!

Certainly is my good man

yup.

Cr0fty · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:39

A brief history of the british military?

TBirdUK · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:39

The future or lack of future of the RAF Regiment! Should they have given up the field Sqns instead of the Rapier?

Dark88 · 3 Mar 2008 at 22:39

another idea: evolution of the infantry rifle? what's the setting/audience for your talk?

Bcause it's not good form to mock your superiors

well your all wrong in theory, sa80 is the name given to the group of weapons (small arms for the 1980's) you get l85 (a1, a2) l86, lsw, l98 (I've fired this

) in this group! L85 A2 is what the current troops are using

Its a nice solid weapon very reliable and easy to take apart and clean!
