Extendable baton?!

[tbfyb]

i was looking at the RN website and came across a picture of a warfare specialists kit. I get the use for everything but an extendable baton? There must be a use for it but I can’t think of one. Any ideas?

Your not very bright then are You? Journalist?

 

[tbfyb]

HAhahaha nah I’m not just getting on my nerves how it’s probably a obvious reason but I can’t think of it

So, just to get this straight. You can see why a Hancock dvd is useful but not a extending baton!
Mmmmmm, maybe to place inside the anti flash and raise over the parapet to see where Mr bad guy is?
Or even to use as a spare when you lose the handle to your jack!!
Perhaps slipping it down your trousers to impress the girlies.
Or could it be for something else?

 

[tbfyb]

In my defence I didn’t see the dvd

dvd(S) x 3
Not due an eyesight test soon are we?????

 

[tbfyb]

Funny you should say that...

 

[Waspie]

Good luck.

Let’s hope they don’t ask me how many Hancock dvds I see

That's a telescope for when you are on lookout, and you scan to horizon and say either, I see no ships or ship A Hoy in your best pirate accent

Must be a mistake - These are usually only issued to RN Cooks and their primary function is:

for stirring the soup/custard, poking the Galley fire and making the holes in the doughnuts.

making the holes in the doughnuts.

A) We use something else for that.
B) You don't want to know!

The baton is issued so that it can be used to fight off unwanted sexual approaches while onboard and watching DVDs.
