ccs:good and bad.

[Cake or Death]

Well i just had ccs today, usually i dont really like but today i quite enjoyed it. I passed all which was nice, with plenty of that forward assiting stuff you have to do, but dont really need to do , but you do anyway. DT_Xtremez_35: The sat range was fun and laughing at the fire section,as their fire demo machine wouldnt light up, the rocks were a good bunch, oh and the nice little nap during the police brief.

But what realy made me want to unleash a rifle whipping was our awesome supeiours, the zobs. As usual when you go to the regiment you drop your green/yellow cards in and sign on some paper. There is naturally a queue as all the eager rankers do all the business, while the zobs push you out the way and go and sit down. Then the rocks ask if everyone has signed in they ignore him. said rock counts names on list and in room, numbers dont add up. asks question again, officer says oh sorry didnt know i had to. the rest duly sign in. There was 5 of em.

There were 3 pilots on the course, low and behold one decided he was above the rest of us and was in his growbag. why the hell was he allowed to do ccs when not in cs 95. we asked the question if we could wear denims next time the rock simply said those knobbers are a law unto themselves, tw@ts! and no the f/s will chew you a new one!

Later in weapons yet again after being told how to take the weapon apart and how to prevent recoil spring from killing someone, a spring launches past some poor sacs nose. and yes an officer goes to pick it up! Granted some people had trouble with assembly but it aint hard to follow instructions!

How in the name of all that is powered by F-34 do these people get to be in charge of us let alone fly a bloody plane!!!! Arrrrggggghhhhh DT_Xtremez_32:

I have got to agree with you. Over the last few years i have really enjoyed CCS and the rocks make it enjoyable to learn. They have made it so as you want to have a laugh and take in what they are trying to teach you. I dont even mind the chamber now! DT_Xtremez_28:

Flying the plane is the easy bit, it's when the WOWs (W@nker On Wheels switches) make on landing that the problems begin!DT_Xtremez_28:

Don't mind a day's CCS at all. It's a day out of the office and the CS gas is good for clearing the sinuses!

At Marham there was a CCS co-ords meeting the other day and one of the issues raised was Aircrew wearing 'growbags'. They should be wearing CS95 or they get booted off the course. Will it happen, we shall see!

Most of the 2 winged master race don't usually do the usual rifle bo11ocks as they use the pistol.

May have been an orrificer, but I doubt "Mr Spring" was aircrew

If he was aircrew on a ground tour he would train for the bang stick...

mr spring wasnt aircrew, some other minion. i bet nothing happens to growbags in growbags, as for cs well i had a blocked nose after. cleared as soon as liverpool got thru!!!!!

Have to say that on my GDT tour, anyone turning up incorrectly dressed was turfed out. Resulted in a few carpeting seasons with OC Ops but soon talked him round.

Also remember failing the Stn Cdr on his tick test and making him re-sit. The look of shock on the faces of the other Stn Execs (who were cleary only there to suck up to the Stn Cdr) was a sight to behold. Another carpeting by OC Ops, however, hasn't done my career any harm.

good for you cockney rock!

Regarding Growbags and CCS, I saw a 5 sqn occifer in CCS wearing grow bags, but at the time, 5 Sqn didn't have even one aeroplane! Walty poser tw@t!

 

[Studley dangerfcuk]

Just completed my CCS today. WOW what a good day, our local " pebble monkeys " were really nice all pink and fluffy.


But on a serious note the gas chamber was done in a completley differnet way, hardly any death by powerpoint just in there just demonstrations. They lead we followed. I never even got a lung full, the first time in many years.

Recently had CCS at Coningsby. The First Aid bit was done on a "Combat" slant as opposed to an RTA. It was done in a realistic and not a text book way that really grabbed your attention - brilliant.

I remember as a JT going to CCS in the bad old days with the intention of Rock baiting. It was brilliant to keep deliberately dropping your SLR, being asked (shouted at) "can't you f@cking Techies strip a weapon?", only to reply "no, but I can strip a Tornado!!"

 

[goldenballs mkII]

during the traditional techie baiting one year at wadd, the rock cpl was laying into a sqn LAC, doubting the skinny LAC could even manage 10 press ups!
Fortunatley a Snec from the same sqn was there to provide back-up. The Snec offered to perform a press up demo there and then on behalf of the LAC to demonstrate sqn teamwork. Unfortunatley though the Snec barely managed 1 or 2 press ups before collapsing on the floor!. He promptly removed his wallet from his dpm's, put it to one side and began a high speed set of press ups to the applause of the crowd!
