Whinging aircrew!
Admin Guru,
My supposed "gross spelling error" (which was so unfairly turned around to be an error on your part) occurred on your Falklands Farce strand, dimwit, not this one.
And the 'error' was that I used the word apposite - it may have been an error to use a word of more than one syllable, since you clearly weren't familiar with it.
But when I referred to the phrase ‘w@nker on your wing’ being apposite, I meant apposite. Not opposite.
Apposite, as in ‘apt, well suited for the purpose, appropriate’. I suggest that you look it up in a dictionary if you need further clarification. And in future please check before correcting my spelling.
I'm still puzzled how someone with your vocabulary, spelling and grammar could have passed through IOT, let alone gained a geography degree.
And just for the stats, my considered contribution is that:
You are a complete tw@t.

Without a shadow of doubt this thread has made my day ! After three weeks at sea I finally got onto dry land to sit around waiting for airtests, the last hour has flown by , some of the replies had me in tears some well, I nearly wet myself. Can't chat any more off to have a great time with some hosties. TTFN see you all end of march .... dream on <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

I'm a fishead working on an RAF base. When I joined the RN I took my fair share of banter about being a WAFU- from ignorant pussers who had no comprehention of air-power. It never ceases to amaze me the you could join the Royal AIR FORCE ( note AIR FORCE)and winge about aircrew!You do yourself, nor your service, any justice. Grow up!

Don't know quite how you've managed it Si, but you've slated the idea of whinging, by whinging about an RAF bluntie whinging about whinging aircrew. Good work Fishhead!!

After a great weekend, I feel compelled to write and keep this forum ongoing because of the bleatings of a naval fishhead STILL in the training system by the looks of it. Are you on SARTU by any chance? You dont sound punchy enough to be a fast jet trainee.
Jacko - Thanks for YET again pointing out my error that you so clearly and eloquently repeated on my other forum.
Superstacker - thanks for the obvious support.
Just a final point. Why do the pilots on my station never fly on a friday afternoon? I find it hard to believe they are too busy because they are always in happy hour waiting for the bar to open!

AG, mate.
Sorry about the 'opposite' correction, but you asked for it.
Puzzled though, "not punchy enough to be FJ?", but presumably punchy enough to have been selected for other than Admin Sec?

Dear AG,. . Sorry to dispell your perception that FJ trainees sound punchy all the time.. . I don't want to get into a slanging match about who has the hardest job. I was disappointed that you slag me off for STILL being in training. Is it because my training takes 4 and a half years?. . By the way, most of that has been spent working bl***y hard, not reading the Telegraph.. .Sorry to dissapoint. Let this be the end of it!

Si, don't bother with AG!
He/she really isn't worth the fuss, and 180-odd people cannot be wrong in thinking this. I, like both you and my colleagues, put up with this crap nearly every week. However, most of the guys/girls who give the 'banter' can also take it.... light-heartedly too.
AG, this is my 'aircrew' outlook....
I do my job as well as I am capable of (look up . .Professionalism) and I'll continue to do so, regardless of childish taunts from the likes of you. No-one gives a **** whether you have a 2-1, 2-2, or no degree. In the Air Force, your credibility and competence counts. Your arguments so far show signs of neither, I would suggest. If you wanted to be aircrew (or still want to!) but for some fair reason couldn't, shut up and put up or leave! Simple! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

There are a number of reasons why there is no flying on Friday afternoons. I can't speak for AG's unit because I do not know where he is stationed but from my experience Friday afternoons are usually spent doing ground training (lectures and the like - necessary but tedious, we would rather have been flying) and it gave the groundcrew the chance to fix all the jets that we had broken during the week to get a reasonable number on first line for Monday morning.

AG, you dullard,
you are becoming a complete caricature of all that's negative in the eyes of aircrew, concerning your trade. I suggest you stop now, and vent you views on Professional Admin NeTworking Society, available on <a href="http://www.pants.org" target="_blank">www.pants.org</a>
I'm sure you'll relate well, since you talk through your sphincter most of the time.
Please don't bother pointing out any spelling errors, because no-one gives a stuff.
PVR now, do us all a favour <img src="mad.gif" border="0">

Hmmmm...AG,. . It's interesting to see that you have such a low opinion of SARTU. You appear to grade aircrew by the type of aircraft they fly, thus destroying your credibility, PPL-boy. Keep burning those bridges Son, perhaps you'll need those SAR chaps one day (dangerous things those Cessnas).
As an Officer in the RAF, irrespective of branch, you need to develop some respect for the aircrew in our service that fought and died on behalf of our country. The wings that I wear represent the finest traditions set by them that are respected around the world. If you don't like that status(which comes with a price), then earn it yourself and tell me all about it three years later.
Wind your neck in.

I am suprised that any of you fellow RN personnel could seriously criticise you for being an aviator. Anybody with a brain realises that the FAA is a VITAL part of the Navy....

Bloody Adminers!!
I cannot believe the bare faced cheek of it. RAF (and the other services) aircrew are just about the best anywhere in the world. They are good enough, hard working enough and professional enough to get the best out of the poor and ageing equipment in our inventory. Despite the paucity (look it up thick boy) of the kit we are provided with, we manage to give everyone else a run for their money, even when they are in vastly superior machines.
As well as having to be good at our own jobs, why is it we also have to be good at yours too (not that it's rocket bloody science)? I joined the Air Force to fly, not do the paperwork that some underachieving dimwit "hasn't got time to do".
Go to SHQ and it would seem that all the IT is fully swept up, everyone has a nice comfy swivel chair and foot rest and the temperature is carefully regulated lest anyone breaks into a sweat. It makes me sick. Anybody's Sqn building as well equipped? Don't all rush to respond. HMS Ocean is very nice though.
A few years back a good friend of mine died whilst on duty and an impromptu (unplanned) wake was held in the Sgts' Mess that night. We asked the Snr Member if the O's could join us (mixed rank crews) and it was approved. Sorted. Or so one would think. Half way through their 1st pint, the O's were forced to leave by a chief blunty and told to report to the Stn Cdr's office the following day. I know there are rules but for Pete's sake, when was the last time a blunty got anything more than a paper cut?? What a blatent lack of spirit and camaraderie. Just the kind of thing that is bringing HMF to their knees.
I have got no gripes whatsoever with any member of the RAF who does his or her job to the utmost of their ability. Indeed, given the current climate, they should be given a hearty slap on the back. Everyone, from the chefs, gunners, suppliers and police (OK, so I may be taking it a little far <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> ) to the steely eyed front line aircrew has a role and a place.
Just don't forget where your job fits in to the big picture, or the tail wags so hard, the dog's head falls off. And then where would the tail be smart boy?
End of rant.
... now that feels better, even if it is all one big wind up.
. .PS
How would YOU spend 30 Grand?
