Military Aircrew Threads
I know that this is not associated with flying or aviation but with the recent barrage (last couple of years) of insults written by people posting on this forum, I was wondering what “Military Aircrew – PPruNers” really hate and why?
A few thoughts:
Ex - serving members daring to post on the site.
The BBC or Daily Mail getting some facts wrong
Wannaby young lads/lasses asking reasonable questions
The Government
The RAF
Movers
The Army/Navy
Civilians
Glenn
Fat Gits
Racing Snakes
Americans
Speed Cameras
Adminners
JPA
CCS and the fitness test
Gramma
Spelling
Females with double chins
Somebody posting rumours (particularly before the facts)
U tube videos
Repeated threads (Marshalling was a classic)
The originator of PPruNe daring to have a go at its members
Crappy threads like this.
P. S. Moderators; if you wish to delete this thread I will not be insulted.......I am just trying to make a point.

Excellent list, I agree with all but a few.
It's not about ex-serving members posting, it's the on occasion sanctimonious rubbish that comes with the 'it was much better in my day' types. They're not all like that and I post some sanctimonious crap myself, but it really sticks in the throat when the retired tell you with conviction what the current RAF problems are. Rant over...
And just to clarify, if you've been out since pre-TELIC I mean you!
And another one for my list:
The Red Arrows, well at least until we stop war-fighting.
And I was kind of agreeing with snakepit until I saw the smilies!

Double chin = bigger aiming point 
From the original list point 1 is exactly where it should be and there two main protagonists, one already mentioned and the other who starts and contributes to so many threads in his quest to reach his 1000 post in a year target it would be laughable if it was not so sad

It's quite difficult biting your tongue if you are ex-serving. You see the same mistakesfrom your time being made over and over again.

Posts from those who have left the military.
Don't forget that those that have left may still have significant other reasons for checking in every now and then, eg family, friends involved in the military or they may still give some of their spare time to the military, ATC, AEF or reserves.
I have seen that some who have left have also been able to pass on valuable information to those who are leaving or those considering it. I'm talking about licencing issues, logbooks, cvs etc. Certainly helped me when I was on my way out. There is a lot of good experience that has left the mil, in this day and age can those that are still in afford to exclude the opportunity of perhaps still benefitting from some of it? If you don't like someones attitude or ideas file them on the pending tray
.
I agree that you should be careful about always thinking about WIWO... or WIWI..., things have changed and will continue to change, but many of us still have a very good idea as to what it is currently like in the mil.

I fear your point may have been missed by a few of the respondents...but I guess that is no great surprise.
