Wilts,

" If you ignore his ill informed post's and simply discuss around him he will, like all children do, get bored and simply go away "

Seem to remember this same philosophy being applied to isitd and Dummy Run on another thread. Think we had about a 50 % success rate !!

Regards to all,

E5

Sounds like LEAN is codeword for 'cut the crab fat'.

I know bull&hit when I read it

'Success through knowledge?'

Sounds like

'Frontline first'
'Options for change'
‘Strength through joy’
etc

What's wrong with 'Death through superior firepower – especially to accountants’?

rafloo

I suggest you drag your ar$e down to either J2 or J3 and speak to those techies who are suffering form this lean bo!!ock$. I don't think anyone will tell you it is a better place and works better, I think the aircrew may well agree with me on this. Perhaps your name says a lot about you as a person, you are in the RAF and are also full of $hit! Take a good hard look at the Lyneham thread if you need a reality check. Besides I don't see how the loss of 120 personnel from the aircraft maint' part of eng wing will improve the food, you to$$er.

Activities like stand-easy and lunch half-hour?

Thanks you have saved me the trouble of responding to rafloo and wasting alot of good expletives. I didn`t believe there could be 2 people as ignorant as totalwar on these forums at the same time.

Sorry sometimes its hard to resist the bait.

For the ill informed like Rafloo the 120 engineering posts have yet to be cut. LEAN was implemented in Dec 2004 as the means to achieve this

Sounds to me as if she would be happier if you did - and maybe you would be too.

Nah,

think I'll just take up sitting in front of the computer all day, talking Cr@p to a load of strangers instead of getting out and talking to all the staff!

Anyway got to go soon, it's the weekend and I have a wife to satisfy. Looking forward to more B@@l@cks being spouted next week.

Have a good week-end and watch out for golfers who didn't get shot at birth.

In my experiance those who despise golf, or any other ball sport for that matter are normally so spherically challenged that they could'nt hit a cows ar@e with a banjo ......just my humble opinion

all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

Either that or they've just grown out of playing ball games... As I did at 17 after many years of cold, wet, muddy pursuit of pointy balls around the school pitches. 5 days per week (except CCF Mondays) unless the 1st XV was playing at home. Even then we had to watch... It didn't take the brains of a rocket scientist to work out that those obsessed with throwing, kicking and hitting balls probably had little else with which to stimulate their little worlds.

But if that's their bag - or rather ball bag - baby....

And I definitely share the same view of golf as Mark Twain and Jeremy Clarkson!

I am currently serving at Lyneham and "Lean" really works! It is so simple, all you have to do is cut manpower, and severly reduce the levels of Health & Safety, Tool Control and Quality. Which in return gives the troops an increase in duties and a massive reduction in morale. Who needs a happy workforce anyway?

Soddim, your golfing anecdote was spot on. In the 80s we were on 'ops' for 10 days with a full training flying programme thrown in. This meant many wives were housebound out in the sticks and unable to do the Saturday shop.

On day 11 the flight commander said he had run out of bed in his freezer and would have to go shopping that afternoon.

YES BOSS we all shouted we're out of food too.

We were f******* nadgered and we were not at war!

Now whenever Tone decides to send another gunboat, which of course the Navy no longer has enough people to man then the RAF has to fly people and spares out and the Army has to secure the tail.

Sorry, I forgot, the tail aint there anymore.
