We check in, not dig in....
If it's not raining, it's not training
DPMs for dying in not ironing
A day out of uniform is a day wasted
Square heads down...
Army Air Corps is an anagram of sorry I am crap
etc..

1. No stick, no vote.
2. If you can't hover you're a poof.
3. White, male aircrew: top of the food chain.
4. If people are still smiling then the banter is not harsh enough.
(c.f. #4 if you feel like taking issue with #1, #2 or #3).

Just a numbered other
Top banter, Bo Nalls, that post takes the biscuit.
I'll even march you to collect it, and save you walking.
Do Crabs out of staff college have the annoying habit of shortening the word 'Tactics' to 'Tadics' as the 'Blue Water Navy' lot do?
Out ten years now, and more time off than Rip Van Winkle's bunk light / Bouglas Bader's puttees, and the old grey matter's had more cells than you can shake a big hairy stick at dissolved in ale. And I was only in for half a dog watch.
One old favourite has recently been adapted for civvie street. 'Close enough for Government work' has become 'Good enough for low-cost'. Last time I strapped a kite to my back-side I was climbing like a homesick angel until I found myself upside-down with nothing on the clock but the maker's name (and that was in Japanese), running out of ideas. Wound up in a one to one with the staish, on the Wilton, hat on, negative tea and biscuits................oh shut up Arky and go to bed.

American One?
Following is paraphrased, but you'll get the drift. Anyone else feel free to amend/correct/post a better version:
'When you're facing the enemy and down to your last clip of ammo with no mates around and your @rse in a sling, just remember your weapon was made by the cheapest bidder.'

Okay chaps, drink up your cocoa, lets go and give the Bosch a bit of what-for.
If I'm not back for breakfast, Ginge can have my eggs.
and from the Thin Blue Line...
My arse is vunerable here, and I don't want a cock up.
or
Remember, its your cock up, my arse.
or
My arse is on the line here, and I don't want anyone poking their noses in and sniffing around.

There is of course that phrase which QFI’s have always relied on with any struggling students.....
"COME ON BLOGGS THATS BASICS -SHOULDN'T BE ON THE COURSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!"
Obviously to be delivered in a supportive and nurturing way…..

Well, Monkeyman, I did send a comment congratulating bo on his post - but it was eaten by cyberspace gremlins!
So, again, excellent post, bo nalls - except that it makes you sound worryingly like a pushy senior officer!
More cliches:
"I'm the new boss, but I don't expect have to change anything much"
"I think we should change the ops room layout"
"Where does it say that?"
"Your hat, my office"
"My vision is...."
