Ahh the old ones never get boring! Must be time for another fitness test thread as well?
I am sure the army would be doing so much better in Afg if Air wasn't getting in their way. Let the pissing contest begin, I just know it will be extremely constructive and useful.
EDIT: Forgot to add that it was good to see the old Few Good Men quote come out. The irony is that those that quote it never realise that the point of the film is that the guy that says it is absolutely wrong.

If you have already failed the aptitude tests for the other two services and think what the hell, I'm desperate for a job so maybe it could be a case of third time lucky, please stay on the line......

Desperate? Let's see how that pans out come October 20.
It won't be so much a pissing contest as a urine wash-out for the RN & RAF. Army get to park a few tracked vehicles for a while.

Geehova - you slept sleep peaceably in your bed at night only because rough men stood ready to do violence on your behalf 
Funny but I never used to sleep well on QRA either in Germany UK or the Falklands. And that 12 hour on 12 hour off in the Balkans CAOC was always a challenge. Must admit though, I did have a few rough men ready to do my bidding during that detachment!

Naughty, naughty, keep it clean 
I guess some people just don't recognise good old aircrew sarcasm in my original remark Wish I had a £ for every 24 hour shift I pulled over the years

"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." - Winston Churchill (miscellaneous quotation, no date)"
Or Eric Blair... or even Kipling....
