RAF Gender Neutrality Language-Really??
I very much look forward to recruitment figures improving over the next year or so, if woke youngsters have been waiting for the RAF to become more fluffy before signing on the bottom line.
I also away the results of the next Continuous Attitude Survey, which should show an improvement in leadership scores, as the Board focuses on key improvements to retain personnel.
Unfortunately I suspect that no such improvements will materialise. Still, what do I know?! I’ve been out for 6 years.

I’m more bothered by why people get so annoyed by all this cr@p. If it doesn’t directly affect you, why get annoyed by it?
Yes I realise my statement is a direct contradiction. Are you now getting annoyed by the fact that I’m getting annoyed about people getting annoyed about stuff?

I am assuming the term 'Flaps' will no longer be used (apologies if this has already be covered). A 'dinosaur' of a QFI told me back in the early 90's that 'If women were meant to fly, they would have been born with their flaps on their arms'. Truly shocking behaviour.
Should the cockpit be referred to as the Box Office, or is that also sexist - I guess it is.
No more Flaps then, or HP cocks, or Knobs in the cockpit. Sad times

pr00ne, I thank you for your enlightening and intriguing comment. Perhaps you would care to elaborate as I am at something of a loss. You clearly possess psychic powers in that you believe you know if I was told something over 30 years ago when you have no idea who I am (I was incidentally, your post is 100% incorrect). That said, of more interest to me is your statement that I am trying to 'suit my own agenda'. This has me waiting in childish anticipation as I was not aware that I have an agenda, so please do me the honour of telling me what my agenda is if you would be so kind? Oh, and whilst you are using your unworldly powers to tell me what I am thinking, I wonder if you would do me a favour and let me know what my wife wants for Christmas - I am proper stuck for ideas. Cheers mate.
Yours
Lucy
Yours

I am in the process of moving house and hanging my commissioning scrolls from, 1962 and 1998, in the traditional " small room"
I read In part, they both say, "to exercise and well discipline in their duties such Officers, Airmen and Airwomen as may be placed under your orders
from time to time"
Has this been changed? I am intrigued to learn of the linguistic gymnastics required to cover the multitudes of genders, pluralities, teapots, jedi knights etc.
Anybody know the current state of play?

True, be what you want to be. But it helps if other people/entities know what you want to be.
My question was, what does the Commissioning Scroll say these days?

Ha'porth. Lovely word. Out of sight to my adult grandchildren, like thrupenny bit, tanner, bob, tosheroon, florin, half a crown, quid.
I use such little cash now that I stare at change in shrapnel / icketts, wondering what they all mean.

Tosheroon is new to me, but you don't mention an Oxford - Oxford scholar, half a dollar.
