Tut tut Boywide, such language. The simple point I was trying to make is that orders are there for a reason. If they are inappropriate then there is a simple process to get them changed, until then they apply across the board- simple military discipline I thought.
BTW, surely the policy makers are responsible for retention issues- New Thread anybody?

Tourist,
I believe the correct wording would be:
'The only Service in which I have not held a Commission'.
Oh dear, I fear I'm getting more like Morse every day. Still, nearly opening time.

Good show. Have him 'cut away' and make it so; mine's an IPA! Ah, I seem to have neglected to bring my wallet with me. Have the chap settle with the landlord and I'll put in a good word for his 6000.

With a modicum of respect Tourist (and a modicum, I'm sure, is all you deserve) the status of the services today only reflects the abuse of priveledges clearly expoused by the likes of numpties like you in the past.
Whatever the lack of priviledge the guys are experiencing today, you are to be held responsible and accountable. Wherever you were based I would lay good odds that it is a better place for you having departed.

Hey, I'm back. Got banned for a week for some reason, the moderators won't tell me why!
Anyway, onto the topic
The simple answer is - if you don't want to wash a vehicle when you return then ask MT for a driver as well. However, if you want the convenience of driving it yourself and not having to sit there for 4 hours making small talk with some LAC MT driver then self-drive and put up with spending 10 minutes washing the car (or take it into the local car wash and pay for the cheapest wash!).
Of course there is another issue, all the MT washes I've ever seen have a bin full of cold water that had some wash fluid added sometime in the last month, a couple of brushes with hardly any heads left and a cold water hose, so you end up with a vehicle that was dirtier than when you went in! And of course there is the H&S issue, especially in the winter months when the water on the floor freezes.
MT do issue hire cars as well, usually if you want a one way journey. These, of course, don't need cleaning when you've finished with them.
Oh, and you "highly intelligent" officers out there, remember the old addage - the Army and Navy all go into battle together, we switched on Air Force erks send you lot to do the dirty work while we go back for another cup of tea!!!!! Who's the intelligent ones then?

Your attempts to cover up your inadequacies by claiming that your condescending and/or poorly constructed posts were merely a grand fishing expedition appear to have failed.
Have a nice weekend.
