For 16 bladdders and Sanhezzzz,
Don't forget the ex FS plod who now heads the team of 'enquiry agents' at a regional head office of a very large national firm of lawyers. But without the need of an alsation woof woof
Or the ex doggy plod Cpl who has been with Coca Cola (Europe) for many years, enjoying 5 star hospitality and first class travel perks, from Monte Carlo to Malmo, and Manchester to Munich
Not forgetting the ex FS plod who was until recent retirement the head cheeze of security for a world famous merchant bank in the city of London. The perks he had were out of this world.
When you have had time to choke on the above I'll send you another trio or two.

Comments like yours reminds me why I left the RAF. You carry on kidding yourself that you'll be happy as a glorified bus-driver when you leave.
I can't say I have any time for RAFP but there are better ways of getting your point across without sounding like an @rse!

As for being a 'glorified bus driver' once out of the RAF...
...I'm sure most of us will have no problem with picking up a big fat pay cheque for flying state of the art airliners all over the world until retirement!!!

If your chaps above had actually had two brain cells between them, they may have actually had a fullfilling career in the RAF, not simply operating barriers (later to become button operated for the new generation retards) before becoming glorified security guards. Exciting stuff keeping an eye on all that Coca Cola!

It's funny really, this thread seems to be riduculing the RAF Police for being small minded, petty, morons.
However the people that have been arguing that fact have shown themselves to be exactly that.
And to think that some of these people have been let loose to play with multi-million pound airframes.

Er....no, unless I've missed the mark a lot of highly trained, well educated and socially gifted professionals have kindly taken time out to inform the RAFP of their richly deserved standing within the RAF community. A few ex-porkers have taken exception, but in a similar style to most of their prosecutions (read witch-hunts in my experience) their arguments collapse in on themselves in the harsh light of reality. I can vouch for the contempt the real police hold for Snowdrops though they might take comfort in the fact that Monkeys are held in even lower esteem.

So your saying that Tombstone, Dirty Sanchez etc have put together well based and intelligent debate?
Or do you think that name calling, hatred and vile behaviour have a place in the armed forces?

Skunkerama,
Equality within the Armed Forces is an essential aspect of service life and I fully uphold all of the required core values required by the Royal Air Force.
It is unfortunate however, that some personnel within the Royal Air Force take great pleasure in making fellow servicemens life difficult whenever and wherever possible.
There are plenty of examples within this thread of acts of stupidity by RAFP. Take the example of the FS RAFP who went out of his way to prevent a C130 captain flying home some personnel who would have otherwise been unnecessarily stranded in theatre.
During my time in the RAF, I have either directly experienced or, have been told of spitefull, hateful behaviour from the very people who demand our respect as the Service's policemen.
IMHO, they operate with very little credibility in todays environment and require a complete overhaul in order to make their salaries worth paying.
My comments are simply extreme banter which you are not obliged to read.

So your saying that the entire RAF police department are idiots that do a useless job?
Or is it just the fact that there are a few pr*cks in the branch just as there are in any branch and that these pr*cks have a unwarranted bearing on many different areas of life within the RAF?
Or is the branch full of reasonable men and women that unfortunatley have to carry out ridiculous orders and conform to strict quotas, given to them by pr*cks who have managed to reach the upper ranks within the branch?

Today, at Whale Island....
There are fools in all branches and trades and at all ranks, it's just that the Police branches have such a deleterious effect on morale and overall happiness when they are over zealous. Look at the JPA threads for opinions of certain IS-based higher ranks, or the multiple allowances threads for people who are less than happy with clerks (at all levels).
It's pointless biting and pointing out how wonderfully they have done on leaving the Service, because it's just as easy to point out the ones that have failed in civilian life. Equally, every branch and rank can find success stories and ignore the ones that have gone wrong.
This thread is nothing more than a list of stories involving RAFP who have performed appallingly, or superciliously, or just been obnoxious. When you are messed around by a copper, it sticks in your mind and you are tempted to tar them all with the same brush. You could do the same with Stores bunnies who won't issue kit, but it's not as amusing - "he wouldn't give me a blanket" tends to pale somewhat when compared to "he was late for work, so he charged himself".
It's a bit of fun, c'est tout.

Ref preventing C130 captain flying home............
Similar (or not) to the case of a Sqn Ldr trying to depart Gutersloh on a C130 for Aldergrove with a bracelet in his pocket, the very same bracelet he had stolen from the PSI shop half an hour previously. He tried to pull rank and the usual 'don't you know who I am, Corporal?' The sheer audacity of the pillock, fly over just to steal things which did not belong to him. Of course, the Cpl's WO soon hoisted him off the a/c.. CM and booted out... Probably now selling 'Big Issue' on Clapham high street.

Jobsworth Copper @rseholes
I entered the Guardroom at a station quite close to Kings Lynn to collect the section keys as I was on teas and keys for the week. Unfortunately I had left my St. Christopher on after the weekend. The officious little jobsworth t
t ordered me to remove it at once. I explained in a jovial manner that I had forgotten to take it off after having a top weekend. This seemed to impress him even less, I suppose he had been on duty all weekend listening to the banter of the techies on guard!
Having signed the keys out, I returned to my car and once inside placed the St. Christopher back around my neck. Once at work I removed said item of jewelery and my wedding ring (which I did every day)and placed them in my locker.
No more than ten minutes later I was summoned to the F/S's office and asked to pull the neck of my t-shirt down. He saw I had removed the chain and sighed.
He then told me that Cpl Xyz from the RAFP had noticed that upon returning to my vehicle I had blatantly disregarded his order to remove the necklace and he had taken the registration details of my vehicle, cross referred it to his computer records to get my place of work, (He could have checked the key register!) then searched the phone directory to obtain my F/S's phone number and inform him of this disobedient airman.
My F/S told me not to worry about it and he would be having strong words with Cpl Xyz shortly about wasting his time.
Although I recognise I was incorrectly dressed for duty, you do have to wonder about the small mindedness of the a e in the G/R.
And they wonder why nobody likes them?
Yeah, right!

No I think not about the names. Tell the families of those who suffered or the public just how bloody incompetant you lot really are, whether it be servicing or flying - you're not the best - far from it.
And no I don't bite and as for banter - it went well beyond that when someone on this site slagged off the guy who died in theatre - take a look at yourself.......

I've heard it all now. Just re-read your last post you imbecile.
Keep posting though - it just proves that this thread is achieving its aim of targetting tw@ts who react like small minded idiots.

And now a good guy story.
I have a copy of a low flying investigation circa 1976. In this the RAFP investigators did a brilliant job doing enough to convince all and sundry that they had conducted a full and comprehensive investigation and proven that no unauthorised low flying had taken place.
What is good about the report is that I know most of the people mentioned, including the MP. One, really good, was a complainant who could not sleep after working nights because of the noise. Not 5 years later he joined 'enemy' and only retired after 17 years working with the 'low flying noise generators.'
