Bad drills, should have swopped flying suits with the foreigners first.

Gent's, if I can add my piece about poo-filters having seen them at first hand. During a tour at a CHQ, my boss came in and told me that AC S&M required a point brief on a particular subject - warts and all. Sgt 4ma then got to work and produced an A4 sheet of pro's, con's and bits in between. Unfortunately, there were more con's than pro's and as my report went up the chain, those who were ever-concious about their own career development edited out the bits they didn't like so when the report reached AC S&M, it bore no relation to the original and was virtually a blank page. As a result, AC S&M thought all was well in the world. It wasn't a world changing report - it was about whether the Army should continue to provide the MT spares - but it followed a similar fate of many reports before it. I saw this disgraceful and selfish, career-orientated thinking within the Supply organisation and I'm pretty damn sure it exists in other branches. If a lot of staffy's had the swingers to tell the facts as they are rather than hiding them, perhaps some future CAS won't have to suffer from bruised nipples.

Re-inventing those round things

because Odiham for all its faults has developed the fight by flights
...what, again? Exactly what a very large 72 Sqn (28 aircraft at one stage, ISTR) used to do back in the late 70s when living in the same hangar 7 now own. The fellas in the plastic pursuit ships were probably doing the same sort of thing then too. It seems that the one thing the forces can be relied upon to do ad infinitum ad nauseam is re-discover old ways of working effectively and claim the process to somehow be "new"; I bet our practices had first been tried on Wapitis in Unpronounceablestan many decades before we'd "developed" them, too.

Woka mate

Your post did seem to indicate that CAS deserved the ear bashing because he didn't come and say hello to you whilst on det! If that was the case, i stand by my analogy!

Back to the original question, can anyone who was at RIAT spill the beans?

New leave policy? Someone please do tell - I'd rather like a bit of time off to see the family this year when I get back from the sandpit. Or has that been cancelled too?

Yes they did, fortunately though it was after most of the guests had left so witnesses were limited; eyelids down to their knees and swaying like (hydraulic) palm trees in a force 10. Good on CAS for not just telling them to sod off and come back when they could speak without slurring or dribbling on his No5's

What new leave policy?
