I think your right for Centrepoint it was no more than a photo op. The only reason has done much with FA is the World Cup was this year. WRU he hasn't done any thing with since he really hasn't taken it on yet.
What does everyone think of post #10 and this one?

It could be that Prince William will do more public activities for the charities that he is the Patron of when he takes up full time public duties at the end of his time in the military.

According to the CH announced schedule he will spend the next 3 years in different branches of the military (which counting 2006 will equal 4 years) and then take up his public duties while working as the official Ranger (?) for Windsor Park alongside his grandfather Prince Philip.

I'm sure he will take up his duties as Patron of all of his respective charities full-time at that point.

I believe that William is really interested in ecological and conservational projects and will focus a lot of effort outside of prying eyes. With the new opportunity of taking over his grandfather's role as Ranger in Windsor, he is beginning to show he took his studies in geography and what that part of that subject matter focused on in the importance of preservation and conservation. His other charities are for 'doing what's right' and for a little sporting fun.

He worked at Centrepoint for a few days before he became patron, I don't know for how long though but it should be easy to find out. I don't know if he has done anything for Tusk Trust yet.

Has there been any official word on the ranger thing, I never saw anything official on that.

Yeah, I read about that too. It was said to be quite risky to have that laser eye surgery, wasn't it?

Actually laser eye suregery is not dangerous. I had it done about 9 years ago, and have been at 20/20 vision since with no complications. I was driving the next day without my glasses! Since then a number of my friends have had the procedure done and have also had no complications and have 20/20 vision.

I did a fair amount of research into the dangers and side effects of laser eye surgery when I was first looking into it. There are less chances of complications or infections than with wearing contact lenses. They do both eyes (one after the other) in the procedure. I see it as a mark of their confidence that, in these litigious tims, they are not worried about damaging both eyes.

I strongly recommend the procedure, and quite frankly don't know why people still wear glasses or contacts when this relatively inexpensive (about $2k for both eyes) and very well-tested procedure is available (with help of a good doctor of course).

"Last night a Sandhurst source said: “Cadets have to really feel aggressive before making a charge. Once instructors have finished with Wills he will be a killer.”

Oh, Please.....

The tabs have to get their news where they can, and if it isn't news they'll make it up!!

lol " Killer " now is that what the Royal Family needs a Bloodthristy Madman (JK) lol

Someone needs to tell the photographers to start their own training...run like hell when the Killer Wales Brothers charge.

BTW, it would seem logical that William is going through the same basic training as Harry did. How come it was never mentioned with Harrry?

kpusa1981 · #32 10-30-2006, 07:10 PM

It was mentioned for Harry also only it was how going miss part of because he hurt his finger.

We got to see Prince Harry in combat uniform. I wonder why we get a 'mocked up' Prince William with a bayonet?

Well I guess he's right and they must have to pump themselves up before making a charge; I guess trash talk as as good as anything else for getting the blood boiling but 'Killer Wales'? Sounds like Orca the Killer Whale!

Prince William in trouble after losing a gun

Now that is what military training is all about: to get human beings over the in-born inhibition to kill their own species. Some will never do it, some need time to, but it's a known fact that military instructors know exactly how to get most people to become able to kill if need be. When the public accepted that William was to become a soldier (there is no difference between men and officers when it comes to the killing) they accepted that one aim was to make him into a potential killer of other human beings. One who kills on orders of his superiors. So while the wording might be crude, the fact is that that's exactly what the instructors are trying to achieve - beside other things, of course, which include making sure that William is only killing on orders and not for his private pleasure. (I omit the smilie here...)

kpusa1981 · #38 10-31-2006, 02:24 AM

Does really anyone believe that he "lost" his rifle or was it a Machine Gun?
Would William really do that since get him into trouble and make him look stupid?

regardez · #39 10-31-2006, 02:28 AM

Most people don't lose things on purpose. Haha I guess I'm kind of sensitive to the topic because I constantly lose my credit cards, keys, wallet. I feel bad for him
