Are you actually in the Royal Air Force? I think you'll find that about 80% of RAF aircrew have been awarded the FRI.
The intelligent management of SNCO Aircrew by our commissioned leaders shows that there will always be a place for you in this mob.

For all the adminers, PTOs, GST staff and suppliers who moan about flying pay. Fine. You can have your flying pay if, once a year we take ten of you outside and shoot you. Money well earned for the odds? Stop dripping and get some f@@@ing time in!

I used to be a Bluntie but I got better. it just takes time. Sort of a care in the community project if you will.
I did get the opportunity to be the Flg Trg Wg Adjt at Valley when it was a bluntie post. Had a fantastic time with the chaps. wasn't allowed to do ACT, but did get to go on the SAP's upto SAP5. Great laugh. Belated thanks to Gary Thomas (Now Cathay I think) and 'Stumpie'Stoner (still tearing around in Hunters in his retirement lucky sod) and all the rest of you who put up with me asking stupid questions down the back. To Sqn Ldr Little...yep I did finally get the hang of a spin recovery in a Hawk. All in all over 50 hrs back seat in Hawks. A tremendous thrill and absolute pleasure...well I was sick a couple of times and that was not nice.
Anyway, took a leaf from GT and left to the civvy world. Now fly commercial jets...its not military but it is flying.
Actually a lot of ex mil mates with us. All very good, but no surprises there...even the army rotary boys seem to know what they are doing.
And just so I don't get accused of spoiling a good thred....
bollox, Ar*e, Wa*k.
I thank you. . <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

...150! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> Could it be a PRuNe record?!? Possibly...for the biggest leg pulling in history.
OK, Admin Guru, you've hit the mark, now tell us who you really are, you bast*rd!
I still think you are some bored jet jockey getting a mighty big laugh out of all the replies!
Cheers!

Jay Foe and I think we have found AG! And if it's not him, there's another whingy, first-tourist adminer who sounds a lot like him! Maybe they were indoctrinated on their blunty course by some chopped aircrew turned blunty with a grudge? Whatever, if it is him, he's a lot further south than has been previously pondered, and resides at the home of the most fantastic fighter-bomber the world has ever seen. (Although I have heard elastic band supplies are of a lower quality than usual, something to do with a blunty again no doubt, so we may start having more problems than usual generating enough power for take-off!) 
Things are always worse than they seem!

Throw him into the river and see if he floats. If you have a large set of weighing scales, see if he is heavier than a duck.
Or some little rocks.
Go on, it's the only way we'll know.
"Stone him!!"

From an Army point of view........
I have the strangest feeling, that AG is actually a bored FJ, and what's more, quite a senior one too. I mean, no one, could actually post deliberately, in such an obvious, self-opiniated first tourist fashion,and be serious could they?
I think you guys need to be watching your oppos a bit more closely <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Just my 30 rounds worth

I see that my intial post generated quite a lot of interest from aircrew. From the slatings I got on Friday I have been cooling off because I felt very unjustifiably attacked. Pointing out a gross spelling error of Jacko's (a journalist) somehow got turned around to an error on my part. Grow up to those involved.. .Just thought it would be interesting to point out that of 150 odd replies, very few state more that 'you are a tw@t'. Hmmm.
Not exactly the reaction I was hoping for but basically the reaction I was expecting hence the intial post.
To all aircrew: STOP WHINGING. You have a good lot in life, especially after FRI.

Your last two posts have said the same thing (for those interested also see Falklands forum) which I find AMAZINGLY dull. Not only are you out of the loop judging by your name and location , but if you don't have anything constructive to write, kindly stay off an otherwise interesting forum.

AG - Yawn <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
This is getting ever so dull now, please give it a rest - I believe a lorry load of paperclips have just arrived!
Don't bite - can this thread now die a dignified death now, please?

The answer is quite simple. Pay everyone - yes, even duvet accountants, fg pay. But the pay back is that, once a year, 3 or 4 names can be pulled out of a hat, said people to be shot. Points, questions? <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

Admin Runt
Are you the same professional from the great band of busy adminners who are unable to set up the new OJAR report, who can't plan and buy enough underwear, flying suits or MDC for the service, who start work after we're airborne and take lunch when we land.
Or are you the type who shatters the promise of non-remuneration retention initiatives (which affect everyone) by discovering and implementing rules regarding the use of mess bills. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

Well, AG, what have you done???. .I quote "Just thought it would be interesting to point out that of 150 odd replies, very few state more that 'you are a tw@t'. Hmmm."
Hmmmmm.....and you still haven't got the message?
Stick to being blunt, mate!
Just thought i'd recall a bluntie story from a certain secret base in Oxfordshire - OCGD, when asked why aircrew seemed to be doing 99% of the weekend SDOs, replied - " Because they work weekends anyway!"
I'm not bitter, you've got to pity anyone that blunt really!!

OY! Cow Man! Chill! Us Duvet Technicians were staying out of this "I'm not biting BUT..." fest and watching the eternal battle between Handbrake House (if that is where AG lives) and the 2-winged master race. This is a modern day epic thread & I congratulate AG on eliciting the response he has. PLEASE remember there are knackers in every branch/trade and some of us actually enjoy playing our part without punching holes in sky etc. You may look down on me, but don't expect to see me looking up at you. . .Love, peace & understanding. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
