You can draw your own conclusions as to they were or not. Suffice to say that when one of them refused to take the gloves off and fight with bare fists the cunt in charge punches and kicks him in the face.
If that doesn't qualify as bullying I'm not sure what does.
A couple, or, to be more accurate, people at school who went on to become it.
They're not bad, but put it this way, I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of them.
It's not a criticism, its merely an observation that you have to be a bit of a nutter to want to do those jobs. It's not always a bad thing, either.
It's a very fine line between initiation ceremonies and bullying, really. That's the trouble. Many places have initiation ceremonies, and its not bullying because everyone has to get thrown in the cold water, or whatever. It's not exactly tasteful, but them's the rules of joining.
This time I don't really see a problem. An initiation ceremony that went a bit too far, it happens. You should know all about it Aladdin, being a Wimbledon fan:p
The naked sparring was fine - the kick in the head was assault.
However, I think the kick in the head was a step too far.
As others have said, there's a fine line between "initiations" and bullying.
The officers and NCOs in charge of such events must be careful to ensure this kind of thing doesn't go too far over the top.
