I reckon it is simple really. Do exactly what this reg asks - every single serviceman email a request, every day, on every conceiveable topic. At least it would stop the truth police from having the time to spin.

Is DIN 2007DIN03-006. Para 15

what Mike Jenvey posted?

How new is it?

If not, can someone PM me the pertinent para?

Caution: I am a journo, openly fishing.

Thoughtcrime is doubleplus ungood! Off to the Ministry of Love for rehabilitation for those proles who dare defy Big Brother.

Honestly, just what inadequately testiculated little $hits are running the Ministry of Madness these days? Unable to face up to the guilt of the way they have let the UK's Armed Forces degenerate to their currently underfunded, overstretched state, they are utterly paranoid that their weak leadership will be exposed and have enforced a "Shut up and get on with your prep, boy" regulation.....

But it won't stop anything, merely expose yet another unsavoury side of the currently parlous state of the UK's Armed Forces.

So, perhaps there'll now be a "Bloke down the pub told me" thread for posts relayed by Private Message to those now safely out of the clutches of the Ministry of Madness ?

Or you could pose a question, not a statement. Such as "Is it true that.......?"

Way to go BEags! I think that this DIN (ironic title for something supposed to close down discourse) must surely be a very good sign, the MOD would appear to be in Self Destruct mode at last, with the Star Trek lady computer counting down the seconds. Let us hope that the Captain does not pull his usual stroke of identifying himself and belaying the order in the final second, having outwitted the Klingons. Perhaps we could manage to distract him?

Are so the big wigs are getting worried that the true facts of life in the forces is getting out and it is effecting recruitment........no other fact for this DIN.

Well we have CIO's think I will get out and set up an anti CIO where kids come to get the true facts about life in the forces. Just to put them off I am sure Mum and Dad will pay £50 a time to put their little 17 year old off joining up and becoming an LAC with first tour Iraq.

Sorry we don't send 17 year olds to Iraq do we???????? ......... No because the press got hold of it!

So why cant troops going to Afgan and other area's take camera's any more even stopped from taking a mobile phone? Sorry but its not right. So gald my chuff chart is down to less than 2 months to go. Boy Free speech at last.....:D

Mike,
Twas but a michievous bit of perishing agitation:p
I did however return the shilling many moons ago because I was a racehorse being led by donkies.

I truly believe that I should not be paying sh1tloads of tax purely to see it funding the deaths of british youth on a crusade for a gang of nimby wankers.

Oops nearly went off on one.Back to the thread.

The government has lost any moral highground and any prosecution of pissed off outspoken mils in the context of the war on terror would not be in the public interest, nor condoned...But who has the balls to take them on? ...That is the question.

PS it was 3x NI (one covert, Baruki xmg sangar was one of my favourite places to piss on in my jeans and beard whilst feigning innebreation, pissed the toms right orf) and the FI job for me not the balkans.
Still i do like getting direct ROTAR from belgrade...lovely people.:ok:

Suggestion: since we have to apply to DGMC for permission to discuss defence matters on or off duty, we should all write to him forthwith requesting permission to:

1. Post to PPRuNe
2. Post to eGoat
3. Post to ARRSE
4. Write blueys
5. Write eBlueys
6. Include defence experience in CVs
7. Speak to our friends about the Forces
a. In the pub
b. On the telephone
c. Over the Internet
d. Via letters
e. At home
8. Speak to our families about defence
a. In the pub
b. On the telephone
c. Over the Internet
d. Via letters
e. At home
9. Discuss the Forces with people who are interested in joining
10. Post a reply to articles concerning the Forces on media websites

I think the DIN calls for a separate application for each incidence. So 20 letters apiece should do it.

Oh, and:

Okay, genius, we're supposed to tie up DGMC, who is supposed to be furthering Defence interests by working closely with the media, with letters/emails/phone calls concerning blogs, etc? We're supposed to book an appointment with our COs or speak to our line managers if we want to talk to people about our jobs in pubs? Tell us, is THAT cost and effort justified?

No Mobile Phones in the Sandpit(s)?
 

If they don't have mobile phones of their own how will they communicate or has the military rubbish radio equipment got better since Bosnia and GW1 and 2?

May have something to do with a rather pi$$ed of CGS (Dannatt) having his internal memo about troop numbers and overstretch leaked to the press.

As Joe Squaddie is happy only when moaning about kit and lack of sleep etc, I don't think the average junior rank is being targeted here. More those that should know better judging by the memo incident. It would not surprise me if some disaffected civil servant leaked it in the first place. Vermin.:=

I'm terribly sorry, Chaps. I wrote that DIN bolleaux after I was elected to the Cnut Sveinsson chair of Gyratory Medicine.

Rumours that it was written after I was identified on various blogs and forums as a prize tw@t following my admission that I didn't have a clue where the 1,000 Rotational Registrars that I employ are, let alone what they are up to, are entirely true.

Rather than have you all swamp my inbox with requests for permission to continue posting on PPRuNe, please take this as permission to continue doing what you have been doing.

It appears I may be in need of employment shortly. Do any of you know if that Thrush from the Cillit Bang advert is due to retire? After all, I've spent the last 3 years trying to polish a turd, I'm sure I could sell that attribute to their product.

DGMC,

Check your PMs. I have a request to post on Pprune. It is about how much crap this DIN really is. I hope that the PM explains my logic and rationale to your expextations. I remain your humble servant blaah blaah...

As Grimweasel suggests, it may well have something to do with Dannatt being peeved about his memo being leaked, but the obvious answer to that, sung in a very loud voice and with the power of a hundred thousand voices, would be : 'Stop f:mad:ing leaking stuff yourselves then you hypocritical c:mad:s.'

One law for the politicised toads grabbing their ankles when Des and Gordo want something spun past parliament, one law for the blokes risking all in the sand. 'Beware the anger of the Legions' indeed.

I don't have access to the DIN or Intranet, so I typed 'DGMC' on Google and hit 'I'm feeling lucky'.

I'm not sure how the 'Denver Gay Men's Chorus' is involved, but their website is very good.

Seems to me you might all want to start using proxy servers for access to the web. :}

PPRuNe Hits Back!
 

PPRuNe Hits Back! My 'friend' DGMC is having his posts moderated by Proone! There's one in the eye for censorship. :}

It's on ITV Teletext this morning! Apparantly in comes in the wake of the RN story selling scandal..

Bollocks it does. If that were it, why not just direct that you cant sell your stories to the media.

..:mad:

Just found this. Teletext on a PC? now I am confused..

Hope someone has archived all previous pages and sifted through for Senior Officer postings. There will be plenty and they might come in handy at the first trial. If postings continue then of course the STAZI might just have to investigate all of them before they can pin charges on just one scapegoat. It might just make them hesitate slightly if there was a chance that other postings might be used in evidence. :)

As a signatory to the Official Secrets Act (and having re-signed when filling in my leaving chit) am I covered by this latest Orwellian buffoonery?

.....and can they extradite me for it???:E

How does this work with the recent posts by various Sqn Bosses, etc?

Since they're easy to identify, will they be first against the wall?
