2400ish x2 = 4800 x 4 (2006 - 2009) = 19200 people have pass through, and 100 incidents? Not bad. That's a %0.52 of people who pass through have had an incident which requires MP involvement.

I'm sure if we had stats on it, camp workers would have a far worse record.

oh Jesus H Fucking Christ, this is without the dumbest POS article
I have seen on CKA for a long time.


Take a bunch of young energetic guys and drop them in the desert for six months.


Then, drop them on an island where the only industries

are drinking, fighting and fucking.. cause that's all Cyprus is,
if you didnt know before.


The locals drink.
The other tourists drink.
And yes, our boys have a couple as well.
Any wonder things happen ?

It's not like the other people there are behaving any better.

A pint and a fight
Makes a Saturday night!

Well, some things have changed.
Not that I ever kept stats on that sort of thing, but I recall the incidents that involved the MPs showing happened every weekend back when we weren't actually involved in front line combat.

I couldn't have said it any better myself and I'm sure the American troops are right next to them doing the same thing.

I'm sure the British Army are very well behaved too.

Leave it to the CF to take their work home with them.

I think most of us who have seen shit have had 'a fishing accident while on R&R'........

[SprCForr]

No different than the tourists who flock to the Peach Fest etc.

Take a winning season for the oilers and compare the list of damages and misdemeanors with this one. I think Edmontonians would look like more trouble. On the other hand it sound's like anyone in uniform is a scapegoat in this locale.
