It takes something controversial for me to put hand to keyboard, but TheSeeFarShadow has seriously w$%nked in my chip pan.
I am today amazed at aviation medicine, to come online and see "those totally unrequired medical staff" have allowed TheSeeFarShadow to get airborne with his head firmly entrenched up his own backside. This must have been done with aid of the "unwanted on detachment Dental staff", who have removed his teeth in order for him to see his electronic wizardry, albeit upsidedown.
One thing that I have learnt today about the RAF after 17 years service is that the Nimrod is the most important thing in the RAF. First thing on tuesday I am off to Handbrake house (if the RAF need them now) and get myself a posting to ISK in order that I can serve the "AE brevet" wearing demi-god. I may struggle to get a posting there as the "Mighty Fishing Trawler Registration Spotter" doesnt require anything other than a pilot to get it off the ground... OOPS, I was wrong there, the only section they do like is INFLIGHT CATERING.
I cannot believe a Flight Sergeant (obviously never made it via Corporal) would be so narrow minded, and self centred as to believe that support staff are not required on deployments. I do suggest TheSeeFarShadow, that you go and have a chat with the support staff and express your views directly to them. They cant read this on here as they are working long before and long after your ample posterier has left your airborne restaraunt. Lets then see what special Won-Tun soup you get in your butty box, or perhaps a nice special ointment for your Nobby Stiles.
You must also make your mind up, I know decisions such as what type of Choccie bar to have with your cup of tea whilst airborne are difficult but what is all this about below?
The Royal Air Force remain the Royal AIR Force because we are here to support the aircraft and aircrew, we are not the "Tactical 'I'm important' Wing" or "Joint Services 'I'm more important than you' Unit". You don't need to know what we do or do not do.
or
One of my biggest gripes on day one of the det was that at the arrivals brief everyone was told what they could and could not do (smoking near tents, getting pi$$ed, illegal houch in tents etc....). Not once did they mention what the mission of the DOB is. I know what I came here to do, but does everyone else??
On min you want everyone to know whats going on... the next you dont.. Too many large meals while flying or Hypoxia????
Maybe you should find a job where you are better looked after, that pay more attention to such an important person... Try these phrases "Would you like fries with that?" or perhaps "would Sir like to go large for 30p extra?"... OOPS silly me again, thats what the AE brevet wearing guys do on Nimrods isnt it?
I hope on your next det that you dont lose your ID, your money isnt stolen, you arent confined to bed with Bangalore belly, that your luggage isnt left at ISK, you dont need a driver to get you from your 5 star hotel to your flying Aberdeen Steak House and your Nav can correctly address an OAT flight plan through the middle east.. Failing that, click your ruby red slippers three times and repeat three times "There is no place like home..."
