    TG1 Retention again

    Apologies been busy thrusting around the UK…you’d be correct.

    TG1 Retention again

    I work for a company that employs engineers (amongst a broad landscape of other technical and non-technical people). I personally interview people from time to time and get to hear why people look at us, who else they are talking to and what is important to them when looking for a role. We are...

    Pulling the plug?

    My hire car week before last was an Audi Q2 S Line 35 TFSI S-A. All that muddle of letters and number meant it was a 1.5 petrol soft hybrid. I have had 20 different cars of a similar standing or bigger since last Autumn and this one stood out by a country mile for comfort and economy. This time...

    Navy Oops

    Hot poop off the ‘Cheery Chid’ I heard last week. Apparently some maintenance had been carried out on the kit that the operator selects forwards and backwards on…incorrect assembly or wiring meant a selection of forwards caused it to go into reverse.

    Joining the RAF in 1981 at age 16.5 and joining now 2024....How has it changed?

    P8’s are travelling now…plenty of variety in Europe and beyond for the ground crew to enjoy.

    Is it time yet?

    I don’t think we’d see many objections for putting some forces back into Germany and into Poland…got to be squeaky bum time for them and an economic boost.

    Is it time yet?

    We stop sleep walking into being at the helm when Putin takes the Ukraine and doesn’t stop there and Europe is swamped with millions of refugees from the countries he’s active in, and we recruit like feck, and we build, and we manufacture. We can do it but the political will must come first.

    Pulling the plug?

    I use a hire car most weeks for work. Annoyingly they often don’t have what I ordered when I arrive at Manchester Airport Hire Car ‘Village’ so, for the first few times, they tried to befuddle me with ‘Ahh Mr Fuego, because you’re a valued, loyal and handsome customer we’re giving you an upgrade...

    Is it time yet?

    ….to bring back large pools of joint military capability into Germany and Poland, essentially mimicking the Cold War plot we had back then? The historical effort was to have troops in place to deter or ‘handle’ a Soviet invasion. It didn’t happen so we pulled out. Now it’s happening so we...

    New Accomodation Model

    What was the point of segregation? I was led to believe that one of the reasons was that if I was in the process of disciplining (balling out, behavioural improving punishment regimes, leaning in on someone to get them to straighten out) then at the end of the day I could go get something to eat...

    New Accomodation Model

    I brushed shoulders with him in the past. Not usually the line of work (SAR Pilot) they take tactics specialists from...looks like when SAR went Civvy he greased the wheels with enough courses to secure something lucrative. Was £20k worth losing [potentially] his pension over and any chance of...

    Open Letter from Retired Senior Military Leaders to the SoS.

    Religion certainly wasn't a factor for me when I was in...I delivered awesomeness whether I was in a state of grace or not.

    Prepare for War....

    I think the 'heat' in the world right now is rising led by Putin who can fund his war until we all get fcuked off with piling moderate amounts of money into the Ukraine war chest. Unless we get involved in the Ukraine to end it and put in place a peacekeeping force, Putin will win through on...

    TG1 Retention again

    A certain top secret North West defence site I hear is looking for hundreds of techies to design and manufacture a new fast pointy thing...that's going to drain any away that are teetering and can get to or relocate to that area...

    Your energy tips

    Not sure if I have said this before on here but it so genius that if I have you're welcome... Since we were able to pay a bunch of people to stay at home for @18 months during a pandemic, we should spend a bit more to help solve a problem. Give everyone who is in a situation to receive them...

    Red Flag 2024

    As many have seen over the years...if you deny people stuff like that you drive it underground and it creates a blocker between commissioned, SNCO, JNCO and JR's communicating and working together.

    What is the weather ...

    Luckily I was passing through Ambleside 24hrs before the snow hit...now back in Cornwall where it did actually snow for an hour before melting. Its now reverted to p1ssing down as usual. I have swapped to my foul weather flips-flops and fleece lined shorts in response.

    P8 eyy?

    Canada buys P8! Up to 16…although they also want to shave £1bn+ off their defence budget so watch this space. Great opportunity for those who want to emigrate who are also UK P8 qualified and should make landing away from Home plate and breaking down easier with agreements in place...

    Interesting pic of the modern RAF

    I read that this photo is not all it seems…it’s at Shawbury and the chap in the middle dressed in a skirt etc for the day in support of his LGBQetc colleagues, hence the kit not really fitting. The ‘scandal’ on the thread was that he may not have sought permission to do this….
