I wonder if it was done by the same agency that came up with the RAF Pac-Man roundel?

Chris Kebab 9th Jun 2018 11:52

Wow, you just couldn't make that up could you!

Is there actually anybody in the whole process that has a scooby about what actually goes on in the RAF? Does *anybody* in a uniform actually monitor what these folks are up to?

In fact it's so crass I'm suspicious it's a wind-up and I've been hooked!

Apparently not, but while we are on the subject I've just proof read yours.

Clowns in meedja land .. who have absolutely no understanding of, nor appreciation for, the Forces let alone the TLAs therein, yet still get given the contract for advertising / marketing. Hence the constant 'mistakes'...

BUT .. which idiot exactly (in the Forces?) signed off on this one? It really is time to start calling these people to account... just as happens in every other occupation and industry. And in those industries they get fired. Because they are fundamentally incompetent and not fit to be 'in post' !!! Why should it be any different just because one happens to wear a certain colour uniform?

Really? Big Airways seems to manage to run with the same clowns in charge...

cargosales ... I believe the RAF 1* was identified on the thread about the atrocious RAF100 logo.

PVR?
 
PVR may be understood by the Old and Bold, but the term used for leaving early is Early Termination, and has been for quite a few years. Consigned to the attic of memories along with putters, NAV bags and shrinking Mess kits.

Where was this posted? Can't find it on the recruitment website.

True MPN11 but there's nothing to say that he or she was the same eedjit who signed off on this latest embarrassment.

Speaking as an ignorant civvy, but massive aviation enthusiast, please could someone tell me what was wrong with the original? I couldn't spot any spelling mistakes. Was it just the lack of a full stop after 'Op' or the O presented as a roundel?

In British military speak, PVR stands (or stood) for "Premature voluntary release", in otherwords voluntary redundancy.

NutLoose 11th Jun 2018 18:02

And the PVR "see your future take flight" is the cherry on the top.

Tankertrashnav 11th Jun 2018 23:45

Of course there are other situations where a premature voluntary release can lead to an early termination.

If you can't be good, be careful!

Putters?

I have a NAV Bag and a shrinking Mess kit but no putters! Should I have been issued with putters, and if so, what are they?
