Amusing Sayings
My boss in 1985, an RN Commander, on the phone to a hapless Lt. "Stand to attention, I'm about to give you a career brief on your brief career".
He paid attention and made Admiral.

Some other annual report classics:
I would hesitate to breed from this officer.
Flt LT XXX uses her Majesty's aircraft to transport his genitals from one sexual liaison to the next.
His career in the Royal Air Force is depriving a village of it's idiot.

Yet another assessment was "I have seen this officer sober".
on the newbie put-downs:
When he joined there wasn't a Channel Patrol: we were still joined to the continent
When he joined, the RAF was painted blue, not wearing it
and of course:
The Navy has traditions, the RAF just have bad habits.

There is only one person on this unit that drinks more than this officer...his wife!
If this man had a brain he would be dangerous!
If this man had another brain it would be lonely!

Genuine - and I guess one-off - "newbie putdown" I heard in SOAF from an old-and-bold ex-RCAF, ex-RAF and then SOAF guy:
"I've been in more Air Forces than you've been on Squadrons!"
An another one really from a 1369 (not sure about some of the well-known if apochryphal ones earlier):
"This officer will never set the World on fire, but will be the first to help you put it out when someone else does!"
