PMA Ethos
 

When PMA briefed us a while ago, they said that their new catchphrase was "we're not happy until you're not happy". Pure genius!

Make the most of it....A while ago I got put through to Binnsworth by mistake.
When the muppet on the other end realised someone from the preverbial coalface had managed to get through and air their grievance directly, the stuck up windbag promptly stated "I'm the equivalent of a Wing Commander, I don't have to talk to people like you" and hung up on me. :hmm:

Stuck-up windbag the equivalent of a Wg Cdr would be a civil service Grade 7 or whatever it's called this week.

Put in an official complaint aginst him for breaching the civil service code if you feel strongly enough about it. Frankly, you don't have to put up with abject bloody rudeness from him or anyone else.

I guess they are all pretty happy then!!!! (No offence DF!!)

" "I'm the equivalent of a Wing Commander, I don't have to talk to people like you" and hung up on me"

As a MOD CS (and part time matelot) may I apologise to you on behalf of the 99% of the MOD who would regard such individuals as total cnuts of the highest order. Sadly there is a very small minority of pathetic losers who actually get high on being called "Equivalent to". Please understand that these muppets are derided by all their colleagues, who regard them with unbridled contempt. To most peoples minds, there is nothing more pathetic than to claim entitlement to something you've not EARNED. Its walt like behaviour of the highest order.

Please don't assume that the rest of us are like this! (That said its a great way to get a rise out of most service personnel for a laugh though:ok: )

I did note with amusement on the PMA site the other day that:
"The PMA 'Open Door Policy' is closed until further notice"
Like all humourless mandarins, no sense of irony.

The SWO's side-kick at Odious mentioned that she was "the equivalent to a Warrant Officer" to me once, so I reminded her that the only actual rank she attained was that of a JT bomb head during her previous, reckonable service.

'Equivalent to' civvies, :mad:

So was this a polite "I have a problem" call or was it a one way tirade where one didn't let the facts get in the way of a good rant?

If the former then I agree with all the subsequent posts - the guy's a rank conscious idiot.

If the latter, however, then it's no surprise that the guy reminded Radalt that some common couresy was called for and then hung up.

Treat people right and you might just get the same treatment in return!

"The SWO's side-kick at Odious mentioned that she was "the equivalent to a Warrant Officer" to me once, so I reminded her that the only actual rank she attained was that of a JT bomb head during her previous, reckonable service."

Which in Civil Service terms makes her an E1, or a very lowly and insignificant administration grade. Yet again proof that the equivalency system doesn't really work.

Top tip for ringing bits of the MOD when you don't have the number handy.

1 Get phone book and ring nearest (because it is cheapest) establishment of any Service.

2. Wait until disembodied voice says 'or hold for the operator'.

3. Request unit/number of your desire.

Let the MOD pay for your call, it has got bags of money...

thats presuming the illiterate idiot on the other end a) un derstands you, b) has the number against the right name in the database, c) connects you to the right number.

They get the same amount of money whether they connect you to the right number or not. Cnuts!:ugh:

Regrettably, you get what you pay for!!

"£thats presuming the illiterate idiot on the other end a) un derstands you, b) has the number against the right name in the database, c) connects you to the right number"

I've lost count of the times I've been told that they don't have a number for HMS COLLINGWOOD or SULTAN - maybe they were at sea?
