    You don’t seem to have addressed the key issue. I don’t believe for one minute you served

    Hiding in the Ladies

    You see, even the way that was written screams of a lack of authenticity What’s an ostensibly 50 year old (minimum) man doing using the work “like” - and if you have such a dislike for ex military persons using military terms, why are you here? There’s a lot of it about. You do an awful lot...

    Hiding in the Ladies

    It makes me wonder whether that individual ever had any connection to the armed forces - or if they did how tenuous it was. “Civvy street” is what civilians use

    Hiding in the Ladies

    When you say things like “civvy street” , it makes me wonder.

    Hiding in the Ladies

    When was the last time any media agency reported that contrary to early expectations, there's really not all that much lechery and debauchment going on after all?

    Hiding in the Ladies

    Because convention now forbids such accusations being taken with a pinch of salt, I'd take anything that didn't come directly from the shop floor with exactly that.

    Prepare for War....

    They all are - it's the only rank you can hold until death and still get paid an outrageous amount.

    New recruits

    Isn't this what the UAS is supposed to do? I stress "supposed"

    Acting Ranks

    That is exactly how it works in the Reserves - the good jobs in well placed positions see plenty of applicants and the pants one's in the middle of nowhere, fewer or zero. This is why Air Command places are hard to fill - there's no HtD, there's no spare room in the messes, the rent is...

    Acting Ranks

    For FTRS positions We ask for a CV plus last 3 appraisals. I’ll be honest - most of them are pretty crap. No - they’re dreadful. Sometimes I’m astonished how some ex servicemen don’t starve to death

    The newer SJAR online course is mandatory for ROs and make a big difference. IMO

    Acting Ranks

    No. The SJARs are graded by letters A to C with pluses and minuses. There's an overall letter which does not have to align to the average. It's in the write up, completely. In fact, if the write up doesn't reflect the grade - in the bin it goes. If, for instance you even mention the word...

    Red Flag 2024

    Interesting if true - that would undermine at a stroke any competence in the chain of command to manage all matters P1 on the det, and quite a damning indictment of it, thereof. The only other reason might be the whole 'return to warfighting' doctrine that's spinning up ATM.

    Direct Entrant FS and WO? Would it work?

    Initiatives like this will always be criticised, and rarely be Beta tested just in case they happen to work out - or indeed will succeed because they are not allowed to fail. FS is about the lowest pure junior management rank and FWIW it is possible to selectively slot someone into it with...

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

    Sort of. I’m doing paid work when it falls at my door for people I know of. Its useful training

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

    Amazing ideas there, beyond my meagre plans. I’ve spent a year truly kicking the arse out of resettlement training - nearly time to launch the boat! WWW.HiFlite.co.uk

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

    Early next year I'm hitting bus pass age and for the second time I am leaving (being shoved off) the opus-dei of the uniformed branches. It's fair to say that when I left last time I made a rare old cock up of it and felt completely directionless for months - though this time at 65 it will be...
