NongKhaiKid Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 30 minutes ago, Khun Paul said: The plain fact that he is being shown at all, show that anything out of the ordinary is the target of jokes and innuendo, and also shows Thailand generally to be discriminatory, it is not this persons fault and the fact he is on the national Volleyball team, goes to show just how bloody stupid the Army is. It may well be a joke perpetrated by the Army on the public but in any event any recruiter would shy away from this person as they would / should know quite well that anything the Army has to offer would not fit, from uniform to beds, and plus he would have to duck or grouse in any building. Sorry I do not find this amusing , rather sad that the Thai Government allows this be aired at all, in sensitive, and callous in my book. nothing new of course but sad all the same. I feel sorry for this lad as I can imagine some senior officer will find him a job that gets publicity for the officer and the army but does nothing at all for the young soldier.

Agree 100%, the Army should have waived his call up, but then that is logical...................something unknown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roo860 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Would have been more useful as a submariner, could have used him as a periscope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macksview Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 hopefully this lad has a good endocrinologist, because if his condition is not treated a host of complex health issues will worsen as he ages. my endocrinologist said to me 'i will be like a relative you may like or not, but twice a year, we will get together'. a bustard insidious condition, he called my pituitary tumour. on the glib note when the drill pig looks for 'right marker' all the other squaddies can relax.

sandemara Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I hope he has qualities normally associated with lions. Standing out or being conspicuous doesn't help a person's prospects in organisations (or societies) with rigid stictures. Good luck Wuthichai.

balo Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I don't think being 2.20 is a big problem really, the tallest persons that dies early are around 2.50 . I am tall myself over 1.90 , if he takes good care of himself he could live well past 70, maybe even 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawboneFunksta Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He will probably never wear a uniform. He will play volleyball for the Army, clearly the reason he has been recruited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nominally....Actually being in the Army Cadets for your last couple of years at School (M4,5,6) gets you out of national service. Thats why Cadets is popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipterocarp Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Does the Army not have a Volleyball team? Perhaps he will spend his service training coaching playing and doing publicity. Or they can try him at Basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
