Four times a year?! I wish. It comes around a lot more often than that.
No offence to you and yours but I don't fancy the frigate much. Just not my bag baby!
I'm not sure what other peoples perceptions of life on a FJ squadron are but I can assure you we get more than our fair share of sh@tty jobs!
Not complaining, cos I wouldn't change it for the world, but thought it only right to point it out!

Bob, was part of the 'sh@tty jobs' drinking all that Polish spiritus the other week? Only 95% proof I was assured!

Lets just say that, in the Poles, we have found another race that enjoy their booze as much (if not more) than ourselves!

Bob,

You are beginning to take things too much to heart and biting when people fish!!

You asked for their opinions; you have to therefore allow them to have them! So your minority at Coltishall feels strongly. That's fine but that doesn't mean that it is the voice of the Air Force, which dare I suggest is larger than the Jag Force alone!

Chill, man!

PS. I am not referring here, of course, to Splash Coxswain who was clearly just winding you up!

Fishing eh?! Who's to say I haven't been guilty of a little of that myself.

Maybe, maybe not, but it is amazing just how long this thread has run on when you consider my original post was merely that I don't like wearing blues for saluting the flag!
It seems to me that there are alot of people with rather well developed inferiority complexes out there!
I'm available for counselling if anyone should require it.
Also weddings,funerals, bar mitzvahs.......

Bob,
If you reread my original post what I was saying is that if working dress is allowed in the bar then as flying clothing is working dress it should also be allowed in the bar. At a significant percentage of the places I've been there has been pressure from the blunts to allow blues and CS95 but not flying clothing to be worn. Surly you can't disagree with that? It may have been put slightly clumsily due to imbibage of some rather excellent Chateau Neuf du Pape
Don't bend down when a jag mate is around................
Kind regards
Mike

I couldn't agree with you more.
I don't believe that at any stage I have suggested otherwise.
Thankfully we have seen sense where I work and if the urge really takes you can spend every waking moment in your flying suit. Judging by the smell of some I think that may actually be the case!

PS. Don't start all that rubbish. We all know there is only one force that should be receiving that kind of banter. It's not called tha f@g chariot for nothing you know.

Fair shout. I'll stick to pointing out the three traditions in the RN, all but one of which has been made illegal.........
