DK338 - you obviously have no idea of what the Air Traffic Controllers on Tactical Communications Wing do then.
It was one of the first modern "Tactical" units established (pre-Falklands war) - well before half of the RAF went "Tactical" just because they wore green once-a-month.
As for working with the Army/getting out on ops etc - I don't recall seeing you in Oman 2 months before Saif Sareea II started or 3 weeks after if finished, or in Afghanistan 45 days before the RAF Regt pitched up to establish the APOD (without any tents or ammo - but that is another story), or in Sierra Leone on a number of Ops, or running the airhead for the troop deployment in to Prestina, or some of the first people of the line in both Gulf Wars.... I really can't be bothered to continue the list.
Or all of the Air Traffic Controllers that operate as airspace managers within the Army command formations (Bde/Div/Corps), or the 2 Air Trafficers that are BALOs, or those in JFACC.
So as a branch I think you will find there are a lot of people who are operationally focused. Yes there are some I would not send outside of the camp gate without an escort - but do not tar us all with the same brush.
Anyway,
As for the original question of this thread my suggestion for Rm 101 would be:
1. Staff Officers with no operational experience running operations.
2. A supply system that does not supply - I have been waiting 7 weeks for a new pair of shoes.
3. DK338 - for changing what could have been a humorous thread in to a bitch and moan that he obviously can't do face to face at his unit....
Merry Christmas one and all....
