    Best Worst det accomadation

    Incirlik tent city the worse? Bloody hell you have had an easy life. Vandel Norway in a 12x12 with millions of mossies was bad, Avon skin so soft saves the day ( if you know you know). Biggest disappointment was Machrihanish, room with bare brick walls completely filled with a metal bed...

    Army beards

    There are five regular and seven reserve regiment squadrons, what will they be doing.? They did patrols out in afganistan during our time out there. Although it must have come as a blow when they were not required at the Afghanistan evacuation they surely have a pre determined war role. Do...

    TG1 Retention again

    So did many of us, nothing special. Most of them were nice places, in reality it was families that took the hit.

    TG1 Retention again

    You do realised that in the 90’s jmlc instructors did an outdoor two day exercise every three weeks throughout the year. I worked on harrier sqns for 8 years doing field exercises but never got so cold and wet as a amlc instructor. (Far too much standing around observing)

    Is it time yet?

    And I thought I did well getting mine after six and a half years as a chief in the 90s. The aircraft mech trade that we are being lumped in to c/t’s must be loving this.

    TG1 Retention again

    would they be allowed to put 4 days leave in commencing at the start of their shift? Not bad 12 days off for 4 days leave.

    TG1 Retention again

    Having been out fifteen years I was surprised at a 4-shift system being suggested, what do the U.K. based typhoon squadrons do? During many years first line I never did anything other than two shift, even on long term ops. I know the helos had an official three shift system in Northern Ireland...

    Acting Ranks

    Nail on head! People are often promoted on the ability of the reporters English abilities. There is a case to return to pre-prepared statements to score against as it was many years ago with a box for additional information.

    Acting Ranks

    As the same man has input into appraisals which is the ‘front door’ I don’t see the problem. In the main I’ve always found that those who deserved promotion got it.

    Direct Entrant FS and WO? Would it work?

    Strange these initiatives are never mentioned for the senior officer ranks. Always makes me mad when I remember a very senior officer saying to me that LEAN couldn’t possibly apply to them because they had a tradition to maintain!

    Ex Red going down.

    When I read the recent history of issues on the reds I cannot help thinking, what the hell was the Sqn WO doing about it? He is the one man who could/should have put a stop to it whether it involved ground or aircrew. I wonder if the reds WO is an ex reds SNCO who is already indoctrinated to...

    Something I've been meaning to ask about being time-ex.

    First thing is to remember you are no longer in the RAF and folks should stop acting as if they are. The RAF moves on and you will be forgotten, just look forward to that money in the bank every month. if you feel the need to reminisce there are plenty of Facebook sites. Get an active hobby...
