I wonder if Broons ideas of closer co-op with Les Frogs is indicative of his thinking in this direction?!

zetec2,
would the RAF have to wear dark blue & grow beards ?
No, no; we'd have grandfather rights to a 'tache
You weren't, perchance a member of the sub aqua club at Cotty?

Nut,

MGD we all know at one time you where hooded, gagged and buggered at some stage by some Jungly types, but you really need to get over it. However if this is your only outlet for your fragile emotions thats fine by me. How far down the light blue que are for your op by the way?

Guided,

if you think I am planning to transfer just to teach the RN/RM correct use of the English language, you are much mistaken.

And in answer to your question, CHF normally arrive far to late in an operation to find me. Stand fast Al Faw where we allowed you a supporting role. You could mean the other type of operation, but that's Merlins and I think you chaps are about to jump the queue on that one!

When we initially deployed to Afghanistan in 2002, I seem to remember waving goodbye as you headed back to the UK. I think it's time you went back to sweating over infant school spelling, and left the banter to Bast0n. He's not much better, but does include some degree of humour.

Fly safe

MGD

PPS again

The title of this thread has confused me for some time now.

RAF Types only - Which way to jump?
I always thought that crabs did not jump - merely scuttled sideways - usually into hiding.

Dammit I was wrong. After much research I have come up with crabs actually jumping forwards, and over Ryanair at that




Come to think of it - that may be the best place for you Minitodger

Mini T - do you think that Gydid wippon is a dark blue

Rumour has it that the mythical MGD is a little portly, I dont believe CHF hold a daily pie eating contest, however I do believe they would make you feel welcome in the more traditional way that you have become accustomed to. I would be at the front of the que!

In view of your portliness, perhaps batter would go down better?

Yawn,

if this is what passes for banter, I might migrate to facetube. The portly jibe is mildly amusing but could be aimed at half the military if we are honest. Yes, I've seen a few RN/RM aircrew that require a second glance at the ODM before getting airborne.

However, a little less time looking at oneself in the gym mirror and a little more navigation practice and you may spend a little less time trying to invade Spain (instead of Gibraltar), or repeatedly explaining to the nice Iranian gentlemen why you feel the border must have been moved.

Anymore blazing wit? or are we all done for a while?

Of course, the Army and Navy are chuffed all the way to NAAFI break at having the tone thoroughly lowered by a bunch of crabfat HR-intensive G1 wonders with FMeds the size of the Yellow Pages.

What the fcuk are we supposed to do with:

18 year-old Flight Sgts
18 stone engineers
OC Stn Diversity and other such commissariat types
etc, etc

At least it will raise the collective IQ. However, I don't really see this happening, and if it does, I see few transferring over. So, I wouldn't lose sleep thinking about it. Besides, you don't strike me as adaequately equipped to think much anyway.

Are you still going to be banging on about something which had nothing to do with the Fleet Air Arm for the rest of your dull life.

Regarding getting lost, I find that a little bit cheeky considering you are an RAF "Nav Assist, blah, blah, blah" type.

Yes I am now done, we have established that I can't spell and that you are a fat b##stard!

Oh dear,

I think I know why you're tired and emotional. You can't be the only member of CHF turned down by the light blue can you?

God knows the queue is a long one, but we can't take everyone. Try the Air Cadets.

Cool

Just remind me again how many people have been turned down, I cant recall one!!!
In fact isnt it the case that the RAf have taken to poaching from the RN, due to a shortage of healthy slim chaps.
I heard a rumour that you are not helping this numbers situation!

You will see quite a few posts are missing. Wanna take a guess at why - or why it is now closed?
