I just had this one wierd dude at work who used to mention it pretty much every week but I don't think he himself knew why. You counted every day until dismissal from a duty many young conscripts saw no sense in and where not doing it by heart. Hence many conscripts cut 1cm of their tape meassure every day to keep track of how many days still dismissal date. Once they reached the half (meaning half of their duty in days done) they celebrated "Bergfest" and usually got blastered and drunk as a skunk. 2

That makes a lot more sense and fits well to my ex-colleague's dumb sense of humour, ie: celebrating a freakin' Wednesday. Thanks! I actually did the tape measure thing back in the day, counting down the days until I finished my apprenticeship and could move to Germany to be with my (now ex-) girlfriend (her idea, unsurprisingly), in 9 days it'll be 10 years ago that I moved. 8 minutes ago, SYN_Vander said: I was in service for 12 months but never knew about this....pity! Well you know about it now, you could use that as an excuse to celebrate. We could celebrate together! A celebration of knowledge. ?? (My experience with Germans is it doesn't take much of an excuse. ?) 2

FTC_HK Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) We had a patch last week dudes, it's not the hurricane. Patches are always spaced about a month in-between each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hump this seems way more plausible as a C-47 announcement.

[1Tac]DisCHQ Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 I'm guessing it might be one of the AI only aircraft getting a flyable release. Could be the hurricane although that was said to come October.
DN308 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Sounds like the work on Market garden campaign will start on wednesday night

Trooper117 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 ''Throughout the 20th century, Wednesday was especially referred to as hump day in an effort to liven up the drudgery of the workweek. Coworkers may wish one another Happy Hump Day! in a lighthearted or ironic acknowledgment that day-to-day work can be a drag. Evidence for the phrase dates back to at least the 1980s.'' 1

=FEW=Hauggy Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Maybe the air Marshall is ready and comes along with the Hurricane. Or is that an odd way to announce a new front? Only Jason knows. Edited September 22, 2020 by =FEW=Hauggy
