Loadies v Movers
Wow. I haven't been on this forum for ages and I am so impressed to see that everyone is still going on about this.
Following my last post on this subject (Page 4), the Det I was on was Italy and the troops at the sharp end were in the Balkans, while fighting was ongoing. No they weren't dry, just they couldn't get their favourite tipple. Shame that the selfish git wouldn't change the manifest for the sake of 2 slabs of Guinness, but would for a couple of car loads of their own stuff.
And FYI, I am not and never have been a Mover or a Loadie.
Wish I'd telephoned the feds now and asked them to pre-warn UK customs.
Finally, Oggin, you are correct. Officers should be respected by SNCOs and the Erks. That said, shouldn't you set an example by respecting the regulations of your seniors and your government or do you consider yourself above all that nonsense?

Dummy,
Some of the contributors to this thread were starting to introduce some humour and semi serious debate of which I am sure there must be a lot more scope.
Now you decide to open a new thread presumably to enable you idle front seat lot to relate some silly stories about (alleged) Mover ineptitude.
You are one sad person.

Echo 5 , you really should not rise to "dummy" ignore him and if he does not get the attention he craves, he will eventually throw all his toys and dummy out of the cot and sulk.

dc8loadie,
You are right of course, I should not have risen to the somewhat pathetic bait.
Judging by the opening post on the other thread the Dummy, poor chap, would appear to be totally confused which would probably explain his ungentlemanly conduct when he had a dig at the lady Mover earlier in this thread.

What a banal and pathetic thread this has turned into and it does nil credit to any one.
Seems to me to have turned from a movers v loadies to an Officers v airmen bun throwing fight.
What does come through loud and clear is that, in the Royal Air Farce of today:
The Airships set stupid rules with no thought for the damage they can do.
Common sense no longer exists anywhere within the military.
People in the RAF don't respect each other, never have and never will.
Perhaps a new RAF Motto should be:
To blindly go where common sense has never been!

OBNO,
I note that you (allegedly) live in the land of OZ. Rather than worry about the British tax payer perhaps you should be more concerned about the fortunes of the Australian rugby team and leave us to play our silly game of drivel.

Yes apparently "I stood in the door " is just posted in to Rompers Green as the new OC of the Herc OCU just to make sure all the new crews are trained how to cope with movers properly.!!!!
How eloquently put there by "I stood in the door" Bravo old chap! At least the bunch of wife beater drinkin' dudes can do the job after a skinfull. The movers would all be in the med centre after a few aspirin and a day off to help them with their hangover!!
"Lash this box where loadie?" Movers ........know your place.....go and clean out the racasan from mit bog!!

Pray, tell me why we have a thread that mentions Muppets....Thought this was an aircrew site?
Muppets have their site over on the Flt Ops/ Airport/Handling section.

I have just consulted an Asian colleague regarding the term
Chogi but he wasn't familiar with it.
He did however come up with three close alternatives in the Hindi language:
Choky meaning Prison
Chauki meaning Shed
and
Chudi meaning Knickers
I rather suspect that isitd may have visited one, lives in another,and wears the other. I could be wrong though.
