The Militant Wing of the Salvation Army.....J4!

[Cat of Shadows]

Dear Spook Brethren,

Having now been granted our own forum, (Cheers Wobbly), I feel it goes without saying that we need to utilise it at every opportunity. For those of us here already, spread the word and help support this truly awesome site.

To kick us off therefore, I think it only appropriate to open the page with a tale of woe and indeed complete and utter spook legend...................'The J4'.

For those of you less enlightened, The J4 was a small group of spook types who, back in '99, got themselves in a little spot of bother with our friends in white hats. Having originally started out as the Special Respirator Squadron (SRS), they were arrested and accused of 18 seperate offences from just one incident!! Following a months detention at Her Majestys displeasure in the Welsh penal colonies of St Athan and Sealand, they were brought home to Brampton cleared of all charges and welcomed as complete heroes. To a man gentlemen all, and all of equally impecable standing, these young-ish starlets of the spook specialisation have since all moved on and whilst it is rumoured that they are not as blatantly active as they once were, there is clear evidence that they still 'keep there hand in' within certain circles.

I have recently been delving in to the history of this organisation and by complete chance came upon a flyer advertising their continued mercenery excistance:

In 1999 a crack team of promising intelligence operators were arrested for a crime they didn't commit. Having escaped from a maximum security penal colony in Wales, they disappeared in to the service underground where they exist today as soldiers of fortune. So if you need help and you can find them, you could hire the J4.​

Oh, and the crime they commited? High Jinks led them to croquet hoop someone out to the back lawn of Brampton Park Mess at a private function......................Legend!!

As a cover, it has also been rumoured that J4 run a small Rug Trafficking business to disguise their more subversive activities!

Well that makes as much sense as the Int briefs I read............

Welcome anyway spooks.

Mr Cheeky Monkey

Thank you for your kind welcome, we are glad to be here.

As you have realised, we spooks may end up talking in riddles and cover stories for the majority of the threads within our own forum, for this we make no apologies. However, it may provide some light relief from the rest of the site as it will generally be outwith of the realms of reality!!

We will of course bring ourselves swiftly back in line when contributing to the rest of the site.

Good hunting!!

I believed the pressure of fun loving antics of the j4 were reduced to a j3......will there be a reunion???

I understand that this is the sad reality and that J4 did become J3 in late 2002. The archives state that the 'Green Slime' member of the original J4 had his brain taken out following staff college and had an iron rod shoved up his own a***, resulting in him no longer wishing to associate himself with such meager and loathsome individuals. A shame to say the least as records suggest that he was a valued and treasured member of the organisation, to the extent of being a brother.

As for a reunion he will always be welcomed back, however, a small point of order at this juncture. For a reunion to take place it would indicate that something ceased to exist in the first place and my investigations have continually led me to conclude that J3 at least is alive and well..........(I refer to my original thread)

Further, one member contributing to this thread has mentioned that this was 'a daily event within JOM', and indeed I would not dispute the superb nature that was JOM in its hay day................but the simple truth of the matter remains, J4 are the only group of Spooks to actually do this in BPOM, and to my knowledge it is an event that has not been repeated since and therefore truly exclusive to J4. What you also may not be aware of, as my investigations have only loosely eluded to it, is the fact that J4 actually repeated the event exactly one year on from that night in Feb '99! I have found references in the archives discussing a J4 Operation codenamed Op BRAMPTON SHADOW, in which J4 left their permanent mark on BPOM forever. Take a look at the back lawn of the mess from the Phoenix Rm the next time you visit!!!!

Alas I believe the grounds staff have diluted the shadow......

I thought the events took place outside (although memory is a little hazy).

Still not as good as the 'good old days' - get the water hose attached to the outside tap just to dampen down peoples enthusiasm and oh for the delights of the garden furniture being piled on top of the crocketeee

You did get to see the tequila dance from a good vantage point though, even if occasionally you did end up getting fallen on

No...............the shadow still exists, I have it on reliable information from a small, long term, but quite senior SIO at the big 'J' that the mark of J4 remains on the back lawn. He did mention that it is now less 'person' like than when originally cast, but is nontheless still very much in situ. I will be able to see for myself along with Inch High PI very shortly as we go up for a liaison visit before Xmas.

As for the hazy recollection, yes, it did take place outside Bombe, and furthermore I can confirm you were still there. Aaaah, the good old days when Bombe Suprise enjoyed a proper drink and produced with amazing regularity a MOAB sized effect at any said gathering!!!

Long may you reign sir!!!

Yes, it is true that the identity of J4's members are well known, as indeed are their current location, but be warned, you track and follow them at your own risk.

I have it on good authority that the 3 surviving members of J4 are currently planning a New Year spectacular!!!!

A come back??, maybe, but caught in their vortex/crosshairs you do not want to be.

 

[Marshalloftheraf]

Whats the plan ?

News to me?

Or is it?

Maybe I wrote the plan and have sleeper cells all over the A2 world?

Or maybe I havent got a clue whats going on coz my mind was fried in 3 days of intense bordom whilst held by the SS Guard force at Stalag Luft 29 (South Cerney)


Urrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Inch High PI]

Now that you have used the word "sleeper cells", CIA monitoring teams in the US have picked up this thread and have come to the conclusion that the militant wing of the salvation army...J4 are about to launch a "spectacular" on BPOM.


I still can't stop laughing at the lassoos unfortunate luggage incident. I hope his muppet alarm clock was in the bag and is now in a million pieces on the M40 hard shoulder!!!

do enlighten us more oh little green one!!!

 

[Inch High PI]

I would love to tell you, but I doubt I would do the story justice, I heard it this morning from one of the "FAC'ers"

Hopefully one of them will be kind enough to post the story.

 

[Marshalloftheraf]

Imagine the scene... After 12 hours of RAFP, Mover and AT Chaffeing to get from some crappy NATO exercise 'on the continent' to finally return to Brize, get onto the MT back to HW and half way down the aforementioned Motorway Forty... the back door of the coach springs open and distributes 1 PAXs bags all over the tar macadam carriageways...
Doh!

And who could this tragic event happened too? Which random person onboard would have the misfortune to endure the humiliation of his shreddies being scattered across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire???

None other than our very own Grumpy Bosun, Sarge Lassooo!

Best of all his stinking 'classic??' tea mug that he hasn't washed out for about 10 years was Cat 5 destroyed in the incident. We have been trying to do that for years!

And what was the reaction of his colleagues to such a misfortune...

We all pi$$ed ourselves!

Sorry Lassoo, but it was funny!


The main tragedy was that his Albanian refugee 'leather style' jacket survived!

 

[Inch High PI]

Thank FCUK that mug has been demolished, I bet you any money he has began work on creating an equally disgusting mug!!

Ahhhh, remember the good old days when RD, fat techy and myself used denture cleaner to remove the 15 year old tannins from his mug.

Pity the leather jacket survived, but you can't have everything.

At least he knows whatto ask for crimbo from Bosuness Lassoo!!!

Possible 2006 J4 Spectacular.

Possible 2006 J4 Spectacular.

I'm getting early reports that there may well be something brewing on the J4 re-emergence front.

Reliable reporting indicates that J4 are planning a full spectrum rug-symmetric event somewhere in middle England this Spring. Apparently they wanted to act sooner but planning has not gone well and they were delayed before Christmas Grant 05 due to the Winter period.

It is not unusual for this organisation to wait for the improving weather to conduct such operations, they have previous in this time frame, as, for those who have been following this group will know, their last 'known' spectacular took place in late Feb; so there is some credence to the reporting I'm getting.

In their own unmistakable style, the now illustrious 3, (although significant moves have been made to make it 4 again (NFIATT)), have given this Op a suitable nomenclature. Early reporting has indicated another 'creature' related name, but nothing has, as yet, been confirmed.

Following the mixed success of Brampton Gecko, and then the follow on Op Brampton Shadow, I'm sure these 3, (poss 4), young individuals will be looking to re-affirm their position as the most successful band of militant Int Os in branch history.

Be afraid, be very afraid!!! DT_Xtremez_28:

Sorry, can't talk now, too busy, just about to dash to pick my son up for the weekend. DT_Xtremez_28: Have a good weekend fella, popped my head around the door on the way out, but you were doing a good job of appearing to be busy when I left.

CAT, you may just be right. A closely placed source does indicate iminent action. Lead elements have been PI'd in fighting locations for some time and indications are that the second and third formations will be ready to move in weeks. Once in place though, the most dangerous COA is also the most likely for this reinvigorated group.

As for last February, I'm not sure that was the last op for our heroes. LONDON LEMMING was surely the last demonstration albeit non-kinetic.DT_Xtremez_30:
