I think this t-shirt says it all
At least in the cold war we got good gear, not just cheap gear. Fit for purpose my a*$e! :pDT_Xtremez_25:
Blue suits in MT who let you use RAF vehicles on an RAF station to do RAF stuff without having to give 72 hours notice.
Blue suits in station workshops who would make you stuff with or without a form 6
Blue suits in supply who would give you stuff because you needed it
WAAFs who would give you stuff because you wanted it
Just more blue suits full stop. :pDT_Xtremez_09:

Proper rates... none of this actuals crap.

Decent OOA's.

Blue lighted Taxi's to and fro the nearest town/city on nights out.

Nice WO's in MT who allowed 'trade training' runs when you needed a vehicle in exchange for either biscuits or a round of beers at their next beercall.... which lead to nights like: as a young LAC up at MT absolutely hammered with another LAC mate of mine and the FS was stood there cupping each of us so he could decide who had the biggest and firmest!!.. wouldn't happen now!



Decent beer calls with big urns of pink polar bear which got you so drunk you stottered back to the NAAFI with your rank clides upside down, hat on the wrong way if you could even find your head to balance it on and everyone carried on drinking in the 'bop'

No PC b0llox....

Blue suits in clothing stores.

Been out for 10 years (don't know where the time's gone, but that's another story!) this month, but it has to RAFG for me too, managed to do 4 tours there in 22 & a bit years. I could never believe that some of my contemporaries didn't want to go.... still it meant more chances for me to get back out there!

Christ!!! That was quick work indeed!

When bloke had finished telling me my mouth began to twitch in an uncharacteristic and rare manner...the outer ends of my lips sort of moved upwards in what many people that I annoy/work with have now settled on being a 'smile'...

Bring back some overseas postings.... 15 years in and there are virtually no overseas postings for my trade (there are a lucky few in cyprus).

If not bringing back some overseas... bring back Coltishall. The only station that I was sad to leave.:pDT_Xtremez_21:

Bring back Uckers.

TB, head down to our office during a tea break... your wish may be answered!

I have to jump on the RAFG bandwagon here I'm afraid. I had the best 3 years of my career at Bruggen. The lads on the sqn, beer calls, nights out in Roermond/Monchengladbach/Rheindahlen/Wegburg, tax free fags and cheap beer - what more could a 21 year old singly wish for. Had a wee thing for dutch girls too - ended up getting engaged to one in a moment of madness.:pDT_Xtremez_14:

Travel warrants to any part of the country before you had to give an address. Use to travel all round the country thanks to the four rail warrants.

A crewroom. Just a room with a table, chair and an urn would do. A telly would be better! I haven't had use of a crewroom since 2006. Everyday, brews and food at your desk. And I work in a large military environment in a large building.

Yeah, that amounted to a £500 pay cut for me. If I remember correctly, this measure was in the Bett report but with the caveat that pay should be adjusted to suit. They cherrypicked the former recommendation and left our pay alone. They implemented it in double-quick time too. :pDT_Xtremez_25:
