Hey Westie....

At least one only hears from the Queen on ceremonial occasions....ah....maybe we can convince King Ted to do the same....in private he probably carries a purse too.

If the queen is out that day doing whatever it is that a queen does, can Charles, or even the butler sign off on the commission?
Better yet, perhaps Willy could while wearing an armband.
I can hear him now

"Aah crap grandma, I had plans for today, I don't want to sit around the castle today signing paperwork"

Interesting that New_WO1 has buggered off... Perhaps he didn't get the reply he wanted?

I don't know anything about him but he is clearly fascinated with 'Respect'. Wrong side of the tracks I suspect....

Have you considered earning it Old Chap?

Perhaps as a new WO he is in need of information as it applies to interaction with an ally and not a bunch of tossers who pile on.

Meeeow! I think the 'Bull in a china shop' approach didn't help his cause.

For gawd's sake, WC, the boys have given all the info in the world. Not only here, but on ARRSE and military.com. He just didn't like the answers.
and not a bunch of tossers who pile on.
That's just the cherry on top. Young fellow clearly has a chip on both of his shoulders. If he can't take the pish here, he'll have real fun in the real world, now won't he?

West Coast

I think the guy has had quite a comprehensive answer on 3 different forums. After that it becomes banter, I'd really like to hear what your WO's think of him and his attitude.

Anyway time for a beer

The problem for Westy and his cousins is that if they cannot comprehend the likes of Fawlty Towers and Benny Hill what chance have they got with good old British Military humour

And if they can't understand British humour then they have absolutely no chance with the bleedin obvious

It's all there in small and large font Westy and as plain as the nose on your face so do try and deal with it old chap

No, I recognize Brit humour. Problem is I don't find it very funny.

I never saw humour as being an asshole to someone, but that's your sense of what's funny not mine.

I was raised watching Benny Hill, see no parallels between his slapstick routines and what you put forth as humour here.

Thank God the real world is not full of cynical, sarcastic, pish taking bar-stewards, especially those sensitive military types who are always able to get in touch with their feminine intuition and help a colleague such as WO1 with his life challenges. ...otherwise he might be in for a tough old career path if he can't take the knocks at his first rank.

Maybe he should have bought two packets of cornflakes, he could have got his CW2 badge for two tokens and $1.50.

OK, so we have ruled out humour as your reason for posting WC (appropriate initials) - care to enlighten us further?

Benny Hill? WC, if you think that's funny then maybe I see the problem here. I bet you liked Happy Days as well.

Westie....relax....salute the Empty Bag concept....even when it is a Windbag....father knows best and all that. Ever notice the sharpish replys one gets when it is the "Home" team that is the object of the banter? Our retort afterwards arrives at ...."OOOOOOH! ATTITUDE!" as they get all grouchy and hurt sounding.

So...go with the flow...Westie....slide that long slender blade between the ribs....they love it actually.

I did the "Army Officer" going to an RAF Officers Mess thread at Arrse....got some very proper, polite, helpful replies....with some very light banner....then admitted the truth...."American Army Warrant Officer" going to an RAF Officers Mess, thanking all for their guidance.... and instantly....all bile and bitter....funny what might have changed between posts.

Any idea what that might have been Chaps?

....and by the same token, we never see it as the backbone to military operations.

You admitted being a "Diet Officer"?
