91 BOOM?

Postby Walts » Wed Nov 11, 2009 11:19 am

We've recently purchased a property in Argaka near Polis in the Paphos region and we keep seeing graffiti everywhere even on school walls saying 91BOOM or 92BOOM. Please can someone tell me what this means and the history behind it.

91B is the new round of recruits for the army. (born in 91 and B means they're enlisting in summer rather than January with the A series.)

the oom at the end of B is purely for aesthetic purposes.

Gregory, you should also have mentioned 'Idiots' in your reply.

26 months in the army is not something you would like to do. So i dont blame them if they put a few graffiti about it
