Apart from the fact that a Sergeant Major is called a Master Sergeant down here, and that most of them in the current Italian army (which is all volunteers, no compulsory service) are 30-year-old-kids (so how the heck can they be "Masters" ? ), this reminds me of the beginning (or indeed of the whole first part) of Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. How's that for "Irritating vocals", to keep in with this topic's title? Check 'em out here. By the way, the lead vocal in this is none other than Ronald Lee Ermey, playing Sergeant Hartman in the movie. [The track is just samples from the movie put on an electronic beat.] I've never been in the military and I somehow regret it, but I wouldn't want to have been under that kind of sergeant. However, I guess they're all the same.
By the way, funny mediaeval video you linked up there. I've never heard that band bedofe, but they sound good. |
Ugo, this is a Seargeant in the British Army, taken from a programme "Bad Lads Army" where bad lads do a number of weeks 1950's style National Service army training.

I think most of the Sergeants in the British Army are men in thier 30's or 40's, and they can shout and bellow, except with the exception of Dad's Army's Sgt Wilson, they're wearing German uniforms as they were meant to be filming a anti German propaganda film.
