TQ did you get an answer to your original question? if not could pass on a contact address for the Dulles Det who could probably advise.
Echo - I thought Prat was banned from here but now looks like 'Life doesn't mean life!!'

Blakey,
Who's been feeding the Air Cadet samuraiprat duff gen. As I recall the Movers in situ organise accommodation for transiting crews at the request of ASCOT ops. Perhaps things have changed.:confused:

Aaaah....

That would be a Wednesday then.



Erm.........

.....so I hear!!

Of course, if it was Ladies night in the Ramada, the loadie would have no use for the room anyway and find himself chewing off his arm the next morning

This is fast becoming the plot for a sequel to "Dances with Wolves" - "Dances with Wolverines", with Kevin Costner starring as the Loadie (or Samuraimatt. Apparently. :ooh: )!

If you were to take a random selection of aircrew from a Muti's Sqn, and ask individually "On what night is Ladies Night in Bangor ? " it is a known fact that you will get 7 different answers (although Tues/ Weds tend to be the more popular guesses :ok: )

Is there no longer a 'Ladies Night' at the Holiday Inn Odlin Road? It was always a crucial factor when planning States Trainers to know which evening that was.....

I don't think they're talking about the Bangor across the Irish sea.

There is of course Bangor, North Wales with the Octapig as the night out of choice when you don't feel like integrating with civilisation on a Friday night.

3xGreens,
Don't even try to explain. The subtlety of your post was obviously beyond samuraiprats' mental capacity.

Good Gen Wanted
 

have been offered a posting to Creech AFB and would be grateful for a pm from someone currently serving out there who would be kind enough to answer some Qs (contact numbers, cost of living, job opportunities for spouses, standard of accom etc).

Regards,

Don't worry about all that you won't need it when the Sqn moves to Waddington to be closer to the satellite over Germany.

Remember this:

Looks like the simpleton Samuraiprat has been deleting his posts again.

And as for this:

What's that all about then ?

Maybe the boy was on the apple juice last night.:confused:

theprior makes some valid points about LOA for personnel based in the US on exchange. The repeated LOA cuts since Dec 06 have been significant when the cost of living in the US is increasing. LOA is not designed to cover many of the things you bring up. If the MoD's policy moves to encouraging us to buy our own homes as SFA becomes a less attractive option for the government then the costs of remortgaging to a buy to let and all the associated insurance costs should be included in the LOA calculation. I can only agree with all the other issues and I was shocked by the amount of the reduction. I know the embassy did a lot of work to counter the cuts but with no luck. No regrets for accepting the exchange but for those out there who are considering an application research the package as a whole before making the leap. Standard RAF, doing the minimum wrt looking after their people. Quite clever really, they seem to know the tolerance limit of those they employ!

I too have friends out there that agree with all that theprior said.

However, I'd rather spend 1 day in California on an Exchange tour than a lifetime in Cartoontown with good OJAR's and a couple of hundred pounds a month more in my bank account.

Wednesday night, and it is at the Ramada, just up the road from the Holiday Inn

Anyone been in the US since before the introduction of JPA? I just found out - after a tip-off from a mate - that my LOA has been underpaid since 1 Apr 06. Underpaid on the already reducing rate that is.

Anyone know how one gets it back?
