    Formula E

    Redundancies

    According to the press some 70 RAF medical and dental personnel will be made redundant in the last round of reductions. Just curious as to what sort of posts these might be bearing in mind the establishments are probably already on the small side. Not been active on eGoat for a few weeks...

    Sad relection on UK attitudes

    This speaks for itself ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9262341/Let-down-by-their-countrymen-how-our-Forces-often-feel-unappreciated.html Just hope it isn't quite as bad as the article suggest, but is it?

    RAF Student Nurse

    More 4 tonight (31st Jan) at 2200 has the second in the documentary series "Confessions of a Nurse", which is nothing like the title suggests but follows different nurses doing their job and records their comments. The blurb for tonight's programme lists one of the three participants as an RAF...

    Recruiting Adverts

    Often there are posts from people who are keen to join the RAF but when they contact an AFCO they find that the trade they are interested in is either completely closed or won’t be open until ‘til the year dot. But this week, whilst in Manchester, I saw a huge “The RAF is recruiting” poster – no...

    Media fodder?

    Forgive me being cynical about such a serious issue, but, today we learnt of the death of two more servicemen in Afghanistan, bring the total to 292. Yet this gets little more than a cursory mention and most days the repatriations to RAF Lyneham and the observance in Wootton Bassett are not...

    MIlk and no sugar please Sgt!

    I am thinking back to the days when on an SSQ which was manned round the clock. We had a Cpl who wouldn’t do night duty because he was married! Can one still get away with such an excuse? Mind you, one benefit of being a medic was that you were often asked to child mind / baby sit which got...

    Service Number

    A simple question please to help settle a debate. Once you have a service number, is that for life, or if you re-enlist or say join the RAuxAF do you get a new number? Thanks.

    "Too posh to wash?"

    The expression “too posh to wash” has been used in the press about some student nurses on the present diploma / degree courses. In the 1980’s I encouraged and helped a young man enter nurse training. He progressed from Enrolled Nurse through to being an RGN with a BSc. Now married and living...
