Can I just say as a new user that I'm utterly appalled at this thread. I cannot believe it hasn't been pulled by now.
Being an RAF Policeman, I am well aware (after 18 years in the job) that we're not exactly the most popular people in the RAF. That's only fair I suppose, but then that's only down to small mindedness and an all too common willingness for some to listen to other people's lies and legends. We are generally a professional and (dare I say it... cue ridicule!) nice bunch of people, although there are of course some jumped up hitlers! (I was one myself for a couple of years in my late teens, but then that's more of a fault in the system and a different subject entirely! And I think I've grown up now...
)
These days you'll find that around 2 thirds of the trade have a specialisation so are more likely to be helping you in some way rather than hindering.
What I cannot believe is that so many (well, 6 or 7, you know who you are) of our so called "professional" pilots, amongst others are actually sticking the knife in as much as you are. Are we not on the same side? Have you
REALLY been
personally wronged by an RAF Policeman to that extent?
As an aside, I would also like to add that I have found about 50% of this thread to be, in varying amounts, tasteless, sick, humourless, untrue, and most of all childish. The "debating" skills of many also leave a lot to be desired! (And they're not all coppers!)
Banter I can handle with no problems. It's all good to have the p*ss taken out of a trade. However, slander, b*llsh*t and sick comments have no place here in my opinion.
I urge you gentlemen please, to reign this thread in a little (if it must exist), maintain some decorum, and get things back to a humourous footing.
Thanks, I think I'm finished now.
