By the way... Always Broken in Wilts. Are you the loadie formerly known to us as rude crewman? If you are, hello!! How are things going? We need to have a beer sometime. After a few years at CFS Shawbury, I concluded that some of the youngsters coming through miss a vital part of military development.
The crewroom.... The apprenticeship...
It just doesn't happen as much due to ops/dets etc. The men and women are just as skilful as ever, but are thrust forward too early sometimes. CR, yes I agree on the description of negligent discharge. But in the aviation world, this happens. Not just to the RAF either. But the aim of a good officer and supervisor is to think of ways to stop errors happening again, not slagging off those who did it. Believe me, it COULD happen to you. (errors, not just NDs). All that happens to someone who has your attitude is that their men just 'forget' to report errors/overtorques/exceeded limits. Risking the next persons life. It isn't right, but it is fact. Help, not berate, please!
