Rabbit -headlights - stuck in ....

SFH - how much more input from anybody on here do you need? You have not demonstrated ANYTHING LIKE the requisite attributes or attitudes to begin to think about taking your questionable interest in a military career (flying or otherwise) any further! Forget it , write it off, think again - hard, about exactly how you intend to fit in anywhere.

Please could you explain just how much longer it takes to type I as opposed to i ? Does it actually take any longer at all?

I didn't do English beyond O-level either, fortunately "when I were a lad" we didn't have the Internet and O-level gave you a good grounding in the correct use of the English language. Just because certain professors say that we should allow txt spk to enter everyday usage doesn't make them correct.

This is a forum for
the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground
in our world it pays to strive for accuracy, in almost everything we do. If you want to join, you have to play by our rules. You do yourself a disservice in continuing to use i instead of I. As many have pointed out already, it is either a sign of laziness or arrogance; either that or you are a great wind-up merchant on a very successful fishing trip!!

I didn't even take English any further than GCSE
Well that's a non starter then - A levels are needed for a Commission, at least maths and English...




And on a related note, my father always told me to walk a mile in someone's shows before I judged them.

















That way, when you do judge them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes...

Well if you want to know about motivation issues within the RAF I have a good one, currently OOA and they have removed the bar from us because some idiot screwed up yet all have to be punished. At this present time we are all on a downer as the powers above like to play god and think they have control when in reality all they have done is screwed over people made them annoyed and made the work effort go from highly over productive to like do not care nothing gets done.

Thats motivation for you ,most of the time you have it and work it , then one day it gets ripped from you and takes a while to build up again.

Hope this helps

There are three ways to do a job:

The right way, the wrong way, and any f****** way!

And your posts are??

I am at a loss as to why so many folk here are wasting so much of their lives responding to this guy.....Jeez by now i would have thought most would have moved onto a rather more worthwhile thread. Uh oh, now I'm wasting my life!

I can see no further use of this thread other than answering the peurile rants of the same person - here and in another thread.

Waste of time, waste of space.

Closed!
