However Time flies, I'll be here while this forum defames and slags off. Once it stops I'll go.
When the PPrune members stop slagging me and my own off, I'll go. Until then, read my previous posts... re: "Belonging in this forum" (It's a PUBLIC forum, so if attacked, will defend etc.

4. Best you do a little bit of homework and discover I'm not a sideways walker but a pongo.
Detective work not your strong point?

Seriously though, You're actually a rarity in the aircrew world.

Youre pishing in the wind then lofty. Sit back and enjoy the constructive critisism.

Didn't say you were. AAC are a different kettle of fish. I've actually got some respect for them / you. NCO / WO aircrew and all that. Good for you.

You said;
"You're actually a rarity in the aircrew world."
I said;
"Not in the AAC I'm not."
Meaning; Its (I'm) not a rarity in the AAC for aircrew to have done a bit more than drink Pims in a 5* hotel.
Clear?

I said you are a DIFFERENT kettle of fish. I was actually saying that I have more respect for Army Pilots than I do for the Pimms brigade.
It was a compliment. Take it as It was meant. All good.
I've eaten sand too. Respect for you guys.

See, even the Army think RAF coppers are throbbers.
RMP any day. At least they know they are unpopular and live with it.

My lucheon meat sandwich came courtesy of a tour in Afghanistan. What about yours? Officers mess alright was it?
RMP by the way, all Army types I've served with (plenty) say that they'd have the RAFP anyday by dint of the common sense shown, which the RMP don't seem to recognise.
And this whole post came from an Army aircrewman who I'd complimented, in the hope of improving relations. Any idea why we are a bit anti aircrew then bawjaws?
Best regards.

That's pretty rich considering what you do for a living. You get a compliment confused with a generalisation about RAF crews? And they trust you with a multi million pound airframe?
I do despair! Mate, I have to tell you, you ARE thick as ****. Sorry and all that, but thick as **** sticks.
I take back all I said about the AAC. I'll generalise seeing as one member here has already done so about my trade.......
All AAC members are thich as ****. To a man. How the **** do they trust a Sgt with an Apache? ( Same Sgt who can't tell the difference between RAF slagging and Army slagging!)
Good luck f*ckwitt telling the difference between the buttons on an apache and the wendy house of your girl's at home.

Lol. Teddy and dummy well and truly chucked out of the pram then?
I will admit to being 'thich' if I knew what it was.
BTW, this thread is very 'Joint'. All three services think your all a bunch of tubes.

Oh dear, AAC requiring English teacher again.
No pram here by the way. It's just that you're a c**t. That's all.

Show me the figures dummy. I reckon we're not all that bad.
Best regards.
Thought so Sadsack.
Many thanks.
And where is all this "much higher than I could ever dream of" intellect that I was warned would come my way if I ever defended my trade? Despite talking to 3 or 4 pilots (or so they claimed) it never materialised.
Can't say I've lost tonight. I've mostly had sad individuals who thought they'd have a crack without comeback.
I'm sorry to say, you lost guys. One Rock, (come on, you can do better surely!), one (claimed) AATC, 3 Pilots, 1 nav, and 1 AAC pretend pilot.
All lost out on this thread!! Have something good to say about my trade? Then post, but try to leave out lies and desparation! It's always see-throughable!
I have a great respect for all the real pilots out there, just please discourage all the sad sacks on this thread.
Many thanks.

Most army types don't deal with RAFP on a regualr basis and see it as grass being greener. We know its just as thick.
Ermm, no. I don't speak from speculation (unlike you), only fact I'm afraid. I dealt with Army movers and RMP in Kabul recently. All good. The movers said they had never dealt with an RAF section that was so helpful. That's fact. Only 4 of us there. Go on..... have a dig, (I know it's coming!)
A pat on the back is always a recce for a knife from a copper.
Really? Stop being so defensive and you may get a pat from us for nothing. I'm all for praising people, but not if they're w*nkers.
Enjoy
Jealousy?
Not one bit. We all have to do different things in life. What's the point in being jealous?
Stay safe y'all

Speaking as a civvie police controller, i.e. one that tells policemen were to go and gets away with it, I'm sorry your local force has not seen fit to prioritise its crime. The mob I work for requires burglaries to be attended with 2 hours of the call, a target that we generally make.
The problem comes down to government bean counters. While reported crime has increased in the 19 years I’ve done this job, the said bean counters have not increased the number of policemen by the same percentage, our total of police officers has only increased by about 500-700 in that time.
We no longer have speed management teams in every traffic area, although we have a camera team who do go out and about to locations more often made known in advance. If any plonker then wants to break the speed limit and get caught, fine by me for not planning in advance! http://www.sussexsafetycameras.gov.uk/mobile.htm for anyone interested
Due to other changes, more often or not, dictated to by government, where in 1987 I would be controlling 4 or 5 cars in a medium sized town in our area, I would now probably have 1 or 2 now.
This is not a fob off, but hope it explains some of the problems we have.
