I'm still traumatized after watching this movie as an impressionable teenager in 1986. Tom Cruise tried to seduce me to the dark side. I'm glad I resisted and now have a girlfriend:
 
 

I remember watching it in a leaking nissan hut in Northern Ireland. As an infantryman it confirmed my opinion of fighter pilots....

The United Kingdom, not England (sic), has used the term "Passing Out Parade" For many a long year. It is most certainly not "bloke' English. The term is used by all branches of Military Service.  Indeed our Police Service use the term, and probably the Fire Service also.

google this

 

Passing Out Parade

 

then you will know for sure

Although I don't want to take anything away from his win, it's a aerobatic championship with aerobatic airplanes.

So the win is invalid? I'm honestly confused by your statement? It's like implying that a Touring Car world champion has not really achieved much, because he's not driving F1 cars :unsure:

Only in America.....LOL

 

This is a thread about a military story. In military terms, passing out is a standard phrase across the whole world but according to you, not America.

 

Just like the television broadcast standards and mobile standards, America has to be different, wrong but different.

 

America finally gave in and followed the rest of the world in TV and Mobile phones so that should tell you something.

 

Finally, you graduated from "numerous Military schools". Why, did you keep flunking at them and have to move to another? You only graduate three times in America, High School, College and University so as you stated schools (plural), we can only assume that your education was somewhat wanting.

U.S. Military terminology, "successfully completed" graduated for all you civilians!

Then don't be surprised that you don't understand the language.

Yet you know so much about the British and their and their accents. You despise them in your previous posts and know the regional accents when you hear them......remarkable for someone who does not associate with or has ever been to England.

 

This Thai pilot Passed Out From his flying academy which is a great achievement and you can only make fun of the wording because of your lack of command of the English language.

What would John Wayne do?? That's easy - the candy ass draft dodger would have run for the hills to hide. In his own words, Wayne was a yellow bellied sap sucker. While all of Hollywood were enlisting after Dec. 1941, Wayne did not. A worthless bastard.....

Don't know what bloke English means. There is only ONE English and American is certainly NOT English at all.

 

Neither do I know what Innernational is or Sadderday or twenny. Not English words just as Pad Ear is not the name of a Thai seaside resort.

Seem to have gone slightly off-topic but I just don't get all the hang-ups about English or 'American English'. I find it very sad that some types moan about the differences as if one were right and one is wrong.
Language changes, get over it!
