    Ready to use an ELC? - PRINCE2 fits well

    Just reporting in to any fellow re-settlers out there I've just taken advantage of one of the 'new range' of management courses recently added to the Career Transition Partnerships re-settlement list. I did a PRINCE2 course (Foundation & Practitioner) which have now become available at the 03...

    A Lesson in Mess Protocol - "Mr Vice, The Queen"

    I have simply got to share this gem from earlier this week - ...but esp for the Crimpoline Club To start with - and for the un-initiated of course - at a 'Formal' mess 'do', once the 'eating the food bit' is over, everything is now cleared away in front of you excepting a small glass of port...

    The Gunner

    It can't have been a 'complete' summation of a 'Gunner' because it fails to mention the intrinsic need for a 'wedgie beret'

    RAF Chants

    It seems I was taught resistors slightly differently ...ie with the tolerances (Gold and Silver) also added to the end.... Bad Boys Ravish Our Young Girls But Virgins Go Without Good Sex TFH

    Block Inspections

    Exactly so, the key word there being 'Non-Public' (or is that 02 words?) Our Snr Rates Mess shelled out nearly £22,000 in insurance premiums this year paid from our subs etc. (We have quite a lot of contents/stock/indemnity - what with civvies in the mess on bop nights etc) I bet the lads...

    Latest Fitness Rumour

    6 mths ? - I think its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. What has been missing from any preceding formulae on this thread (walking to/from Gym's etc) are the amount of injuries that might (will) be sustained just through 'normal' PT I'm the oldest, fattest and definitely the...

    Block Inspections

    So you got reimbursed for the damage to your car ....and it just happened to be a total coincidence that the 'RAF insurance company' was the same as yours MMmmnn not suspicious at all that eh?? I think you'll find that there will be a tenuous link back to Harry Staish's cash box somewhere...

    Block Inspections

    You're quite right of course, they don't have 'insurance', thats why I put the word in inverted comma's. They're in the same league as Millionaires who don't need vehicle insurance if it can be shown they can be held liable for at least £500,000 (unless the amounts gone up?) The 'Camp...

    Ten Tors

    Good Tips ? - When bouncing up and down on that springy marshy stuff shouting 'look at me' make sure you've got a mate or two around to drag you out when you eventually go through - up to your chest ! .....oh yeah ....then you'll stink all day Seriously though - well worn in boots and...

    Block Inspections

    Why ? - Unfortunately not to see your latest pirated DVD collection but 'Works Services' is the usual answer. The 'insurance' takes a dim view especially if electrical appliances, plugs and sockets are'nt kept up to date - Stops you inadvertently burning down the accom apparently...

    Who has the most medals?

    Aug-Dec 95 : Started out in UNPROFOR HQ in Zagreb chatting with a very nice Czech General in an equally nice hotel there. Moved shortly afterwards though, down to DJ (Divulje Barracks) after witnessing a drunken topless Croatian come into the hotel foyer and shoot the currency board off the...

    4 years ago today.

    After watching upwards of 150 US Strike Eagles, Hornets and Warthogs get into the air at the business end of Al Jabar Air Base, I decided to go back to the 'UK contingent' and see where our contribution was. At one of 'my' building sites, I found a busy Harrier + crew + bombs/missiles had...

    Who has the most medals?

    7 in 10 ie 1994 - 2003 ...and I wonder why I'm worn out ? It all came about with a posting to RAF Stafford and some wonderful 'long distance dets' No 1 was 1994 - LS&GCM which in itself was a little bit dubious as there was a tiny little dent in my conduct record, but apparently because it...

    Speed Cameras

    Hmmnn, I wonder if we'd be having the same 'cosy chat' if it was me that had ended up playing conkers with the Mini ? (No fatalities so far, woman driver, back end was shoved square into the front, knocked it/her a good 50 yds down the road) I estimate the BMW must have been doing well over...

    LEAN Where are we now

    Value Stream Analysis maps the processes through an event/operation and asks questions at each stage like 'can we get this cheaper/quicker/just in time' Another 'American wave to hit the beach' from people who brought us ISO9000 and COSHH - to manage corporations like - 'McDonalds' (...for...
