The misconception of Bronies (Fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic)

As far as I've known about Bronies, there was always a misconception and misunderstanding about them.

People always thought that Bronies only exist in the United States, Very wrong. Bronies are all over the world, and getting bigger as we speak whether we like it or not, there is not stop to it.

Another common misconception is that Bronies are unemployed, Have too much time on their hands, perverts, paedophiles (Pedophiles for US people going go all ape shit on me) and have nothing better to do and people who masturbate over bestiality. While it maybe true in case of perverts for a small percentage of bronies but many to have jobs, and do not have time on their hands, Bronies are both Male and Female fans but some Female fans call themselves "Pegasisters" but either way they are all fans of the franchise "My Little Pony: Friendship is magic" And to some surprise, though some of you might not believe me, there are quite a lot of fans of the show which consider themselves bronies and are fully enlisted Armed Forces personnels of all branches, be it Army, Navy and Air Force and in America's case Coast Guards. and my evidence of Military Bronies existing is this (Please watch the whole video).

Although you may not like the idea of our Armed Force personnels being Bronies, there is NOTHING you can do about it and indeed some of them are deployed in Afghanistan and many different countries at this current moment in time.

Another fact you might want to know about Bronies is about Kiki Havivy, a 7 year old child which has Brain tumor, Kiki's mother, Ami Havivy started a donation site which pays for Kiki's treatments, she is doing fine but the Tumor is still there, the target amount is $70,000 and an amazing $46,251 in total where donated by many and Bronies, such notable people donated a huge amount of $5000 donted by SR Foxley, $3000 donated by an Anonymous Brony, $2000 By Samuel Paxton Mackey who is also a bronies, Celestia Radio who donated $1,860 and even My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's voice actress Tara Strong  . For those who also wish to donate money for Kiki's treatment go on: http://www.giveforward.com/supportkikiscancerfund

Sick of the hate HM Armed Forces Personnel get.

I started to hear about the hate and disgusting and cowardly acts around early months of 2011, People from the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Royal Marines and the British Army have been receive hate from many people of the general publics, most have been of the Asian ethnicity and from the Islamic people, the acts of idiocy and selfishness absolutely gets me annoyed. Personnels of Her Majesty's Armed Forces have been getting Verbal abuse such as "Baby killer.", Getting attacked and spat on, after what our troops do for us, they get treated like dirt, which sickens me.

During this week a single Soldier from the British Army who was deployed to help guard the Olympics when G4S have been failing to do so, was attacked by a group of 4.

Further ACF Unfairness.

So as my first Blog, I ranted about how the in my detachment is making an unfair promotion.

So during the 2 of the 4/5 weeks we have been off Cadets there has been a promotion of a Male Cadet in our detachment to Lance Corporal and Female cadets promoted to Lance Corporal and Staff Sergeant, The male Cadet has definitely deserved the promotion, since he has done all the right things to get promoted, as did the Staff Sergeant, however the promotion of one of the female Cadet to Lance Corporal has been controversial and the Staff Sergeant, Corporal and the Male Lance Corporal as well as 2 of our Cadets as well as around 2 male Cadets disagree with the promotion of her and that I deserve it more than her, and I obviously agree.

The fact is one of our Instructor even trusts in my decisions without notifying him about what I do, I help new recruits as well as more experienced Cadets with their uniform, and teach them different methods of sorting their uniform and do what they feel is more comfortable for them to do as well as even polishing their boots and ironing their uniform especially a certain Cadet who I have helped and taught multiple different times.

The Staff Sergeant even said herself that she has been in the Cadet Organisation for around 4 years and I have been in the Cadet Organisation for around 3 years and yet I am still a Cadet, she has also pointed out that i should at least be the same rank as her if not a Sergeant, she has also pointed out that i have more Pros than Cons whilst the Female Lance Corporal has more Cons than pros. Another fact is that we had a Cadet Party on Monday and me and 3 other cadets, One was a Cadet, the other a Lance Corporal and the other was the Staff Sergeant, the other Cadet was talking quietly to the 4 of us and as i quote the female Lance Corporal said to him "I swear to god Brandon, if you don't shut up when we get back to Cadets, I will make your Cadet Life a living hell for you."

One of the Cadet's mother of which was the owner of the house we stayed at used serve in the British Army, I told her how my Father served since the Falkland wars and is only a Major because of his Ethnicity and if he was a Caucasian officer he would at least be a Brigadier by now, so she said that if she was in the Cadet Force she would only promote people for their ability and not their ethnicity, nationality or anything else, she even said just because her daughter was in the same detachment as her, does not mean she will promote her because she is Family, but if she is capable of being an NCO she should be an NCO, the mother also said to me that if my detachment commander did not give me an legitimate reason for my promotion, I should report it as a Racial situation.

College!

So it's almost the end of my summer holidays, and I am going to be starting College on the 3rd of September!


I have already enrolled into the college of my choice and I have my College Identity Card and I've got the right grades for my Course which is Level 3 Extended Diploma Public Services.

I'm looking forward this for a while, since it's going to help with my fitness, stamina, Discipline and as well as make new friends.


But sadly over the summer I've not been to Cadets because it has been closed down for the summer  along with a Company meeting.

Why not!?

So, i have been in the Cadet Organisation for 2 years (One year in the Air Training Corps, and nearly a year in the Army Cadet Force). I Practically worked my ass off, Polishing the hell out of my boots and ironing the hell out of my Uniform, making sure everything is perfect to the very last detail, I carry out instructions to the best of my ability as since my Detachment Beret Badge is the Royal Corps of Signals and their motto is "Certa Cito." which is Latin for "Swift and Sure" which basically means Carrying out instructions with confidence and as quick as you can, which is what i try to do.


I have been selected by the staff along with other senior Cadets to teach lessons like History of the ACF, Badges and Ranks .etc and whilst i was in the Air Training Corps, i was a top cadet, Seniority wise, and since i joined the Army Cadet Force, i have joined from near the bottom to the top. Whenever there is a Detachment Uniform Inspection i would always have the best uniform, our Potential Instructor even trusts the decision i make, if i had the choice to make one.

So on Thursday night, it was our last parade night before Annual Camp and the break we have until the 30th of August, My friend got called up in the middle of final parade, not knowing why he did, and before i could believe it, he got promoted to Acting Lance Corporal, which is an potential Non-Commissioned Officer Rank, i was happy for him of course, and clapped for him as anyone else would, after that when he got back into the squad, i knew another promotion was being given out, and to no surprise, it was another one of my Best Friends in Cadets, who was also Promoted to Acting Lance Corporal, again, i was happy for her, i applauded her and I waited until my name was called out, afterwards, the Sergeant told the Corporal to dismiss us so we could go home, the biggest feeling of disappointment in the world, having 2 years experience , 2 years more experience than them, i had taken responsibilities and the best Uniform in the Detachment. It was so annoying, i felt as if i worked my ass off for nothing and had it throw back at my face as if it was nothing

Pain in the butt

It's been too long since i last made a video helping cadets across the globe on my YouTube channel, it's a pain in the ass, i have too many videos to make and i don't even have a camera, and plus i broke my webcam, and in addition, the laptop of which my cousin gave me....is running Linux...WHY, LINUX!?

The problem with this Laptop is the fact that it doesn't allow me to install some programs that I want, such as Google Chrome, Windows Live Messenger, Sony Vegas .etc
