How about ditching all the corporate comms bulls
t?
If the money thus saved was reinvested in kit then highly embarrassing headlines like the HCDC report today would be avoided and there would be no need to attempt to generate positive publicity!
No, that will never catch on!

I too got the Effects Based Warfare $h*te.
As a former plans officer where did the forewrod writer get the idea that you could 'build a new barrack block for a million or whatever' (sorry mates I'm in Baghdad at the mo and haven't got my copy to hand for an accurate quotation).
How in touch was he then when he wrote that?... how in touch has he ever been? I seem to remember in the TACEVAL days at LEUZ that following a number of false alarm air raids called by the Rapier bods he announced personally on the tannoy that 'this was not an air raid, take off your respirators and get on with your jobs'. Small problem: this one was a 24 x F111 air raid supported by the EF111. Doh! But I digress.
Bee: thanks for taking my Dad for a 'Moth ride on his birthday. He still talks about it! Recommend it to anyone (do I get a recruiting bonus for the endorsement?)
Byeeee from the big sandpit

Sorry, guilty as charged, DH82b is the de Havilland Queen Bee, anyone heard of it? Ah, just as I thought, easier to say you fly a Moth.... looks almost identical, but the Bee is the last flying example in the world!

Did I? When was that, have taken one or two people flying recently.

The old man went for a Tiger ride at Henlow about a year ago ('cos it's nearly birthday time for him again - case of wine this year from Wine Direct). Just thought your ref to CAM put you at Henlow.

Despite my handle mate, I can't crack your code!
PPRuNe posts don't come from UK (as stated in the footer)..I couldn't be ARRSEd to change the email stuff.
Scores on the doors from the 'front' (Corps HQ I know but still north of ........ ): probably hear GR4 daily, see CH47 and Lynx from time to time (great flypast over the lake No 7), C130 daily and that must be a Tristar flashing its way south at about ****D over to the east.
Effect on the front line? Quelle front? I bought the stuff about non-linear warfare from another pamphlet!!
I just hope there are enough Tristars left to get me home later this month.
Good luck to the next shift! (and Happy Christmas in case I'm too busy)
