    Pay Rise Thoughts?

    I've fallen into that at the right time, too. In January I switched, on promotion, from DE&S to SDA. With the new pay settlement, come April next year I'll be earning £14k more than I was at the start of this year. Sounds amazing. It isn't. It only puts me back to the same pay that I was...

    Mandatory High Ropes for leaders

    They're talking about this over on PPRuNE. Personally I thing somebody is authoring a massive wind-up but other than that I shan't comment because I'm pretty sure you'll all have enough to say about it on my behalf...:PDT_Xtremez_34:

    What the flip is this all about?

    The week before last, just as I passed through the main gate on my way to work, I was glared at by a female copper. The reason she glared at me was because she could hear, through my still wound down window, that I had burst out laughing as I caught sight of her. Why did I do that? Because...

    SJAR Personal Objectives

    I feel embarrassed that I don't know the answer to this - as a subject and more importantly as a 1st RO I flippin' well ought to - but I wonder if somebody can lay the received wisdom upon me. Specifically, when these objectives appear on your SJAR, are they goals (sorry..ahem! SMART targets)...

    Worcestershire CCC and Help for Heroes

    Just sitting in front of Sky right now watching Nottinghamshire hopefully edging towards a win against a poor Worcestershire effort - but I have to give a big :PDT_Xtremez_30: to the Pears for what they are doing for Help for Heroes this season. They have a new Twenty20 strip which has a H4H...

    Season Tickets 2009/10

    I have, in the last quarter of an hour, renewed my season ticket for Nottingham Forest Football Club for the ninth consecutive season and the thirteenth out of the last 20 (a Germany tour and some other stuff got in the way, but that doesn't mean I wasn't going to games!). It was a close run...

    Swords, Ceremonial, Air Officers, for the use of

    Right, I know this is a bit geeky so let's get all the p**s-taking out of the way now..... ....Finished? Good. Then here's my query. As one of Her Majesty's loyal airmen the other week I purchased (ahem!) a copy of The Royal Air Force Yearbook 2009. Perusing said literature I found this...

    Drill and Ceremonial

    First thread I've ever opened on E-Goat, I do believe.....some of you may wish to move on, it's not of any great interest......rather boring in fact..... I'm just wondering...for various reasons I've had a bit to do with D&C in recent months (Air Cadets + being dicked for parades) and it seems...

    Cautioned....

    The mind boggles.....I have visions of unhappy erks being dumped in places that they don't want to be :PDT_Xtremez_08: ......Aha! so it's you that sends us all to sandy places :PDT_Xtremez_25:

    Oilseed Rape?

    I was reliably informed yesterday that it is because farmers get EU subsidies for growing it. I seem to remember from geography lessons at school that it messes up crop rotation too because after you've had oilseed rape in a field that field cannot be used for anything else for five years...

    Cricket World Cup

    Right..... A new coach (but I don't know who, before this tournament I would have said Bob Woolmer). New captains - Paul Collingwood for ODIs, Andrew Strauss for Tests. This may release Vaughan to regain the form that saw him become the world's leading Test run scorer in the year before he...

    Who has the most medals?

    I think there are still some offences though which if you're convicted of will mean that you won't get it. Certainly I know of one WO who has been told "never", not as long as he's got a hole in his ar*e. Strange, because he's not "undecorated", as it were, he's got quite a few gongs. Just...

    British Sailors released from Iran

    Hmmm, I almost hesitate to say this because I'd hate to be associated with someone as odious as Paul Routledge but actually I agree with him. Ever since women were first admitted into combat roles I have been uncomfortable with it. My own personal morality tells me that there is something...

    Classic qoutes

    Hmmm, interesting thought's there MyShineyAr$e, at the risk of incurring the wrath of the soon-to-be Mrs TrickyTree I can't say that I disagree with you :PDT_Xtremez_15: Anyway.....Always liked this from Aliens: Sgt Apone: All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed...
