Well thanks for adding that piece of intelligent argument to the debate! Well, if disagreeing with a public moaner makes me a knob, then so be it.

Well why don't you? I'm sure we'd all really love to hear it ... no honestly, we would!

I presume you're talking about moaning.

Now, WM, these two comments really don't go together now, do they?

... and this is my point exactly. You're happy to take the Queen's shilling, but feel as though you're somehow doing the Service that is giving many a good wage, lifestyle and pension, a big favour by slating it in public. I just feel that you want it every way! I'm not suggesting everything is rosy in the garden, it's just that there's a time and a place for making your feeling's known. I'm truly sorry that you think that the way to vent your frustration is in public, but my point remains that it does no good.

I'll put it down you being a bit 'over-tired' given your 28 hour week thus far.

On a more positive note, ASDA will be recruiting before Xmas and you might be able to transfer your pension!

GF

BTW, I somehow feel that as you're 2 years away from your earliest option and I've yet to take mine, I think your assumption is wrong!

I suppose it doesn't matter how much it is. If it's enough to stop someone from PVRing, then it must be enough to outweigh all the pain, grief, inconvenience and hard graft that the Service require of you!

£11000 as a pension isn't exactly a kings ransom now is it? Today 23:10

No, not really. But the 50K lumpsum is better than a kick in the slats.

You really are a chisler. There is no dealing with blunties like you, and I don't need to know how to wear a stable belt either.

I won't be visiting again

Wm: "overtired"
 

:D:D

Best you get up the 'little wooden hill' me old, as you've had a long week already. I can see from your comments above that you're not really a team-player, but I knew that anyway from your previous posts.

Time for bed ... or is it more 'internet-dating' that's keeping you up as part of your long 'working week'?":ok:

GF:cool:

WM,

Having in oh so many previous posts fully established your credentials as someone who has been, seen, done and bought the the t-shirt perhaps the question we should be asking GF is to offer us a resume of his experiences to date :eek:

Perhaps once we have a fuller picture of his contribution to the current Operational Tempo we can better assess his thoughts on this thread :rolleyes:

GF,

If you take WM at face/PPrune value and believe even half of his posts, accept that he will be leaving at 40 and acknowledge that his "handle" gives you an inkling of what he has probably been up to since GW1 do you not think that perhaps a little more courtesy is in order :rolleyes:

I look forward to your response with hopefully some credible and provable facts :p

why do you people keep replying to him and giving him credence. Ignore him and he'll go away

Just go into your User CP and add him to your ignore list and you will never see his posts again.

SFFP
 

Actually ... no I don't. Why, just because he may have done Ops (which is what we're all paid to do), you feel that you can start calling people 'knobs' and 'chiselers' just because they disagree with you!

My experience: GRANBY, BANNER, BOLTON, ALLIED FORCE, RESINATE, TELIC and HERRICK. Those are my 'T-Shirts'.

GF, Without wanting to break opsec, what did you do on that big long list of ops you so proudly reeled off. Sit nice an safe in some main base area and help the cheeses do things like try to rename bars? or did you actually work for a living.

WM, 28 hrs is an awful lot. know your limits fella. We ain't gpt the crews or cabs to spare if you burn out or f££k it up thru pushing too hard.

Don't let the blunties grind you down.

Indeed. One can now appreciate a bit more how "fragging" came about in the US Military.
Perhaps they described themselves as "Professional Officers" as well?

I have to say I find you're post pathetic. Take out the indiviuals involved in this thread, trying to start a p**sing war about who's deployment is more worthwile/valuable is just sad and frankly disrespectful to all those who make personal sacrifices to serve in both support and teeth roles.

Anyone got a question for CAS?

Reading this lot , I rather think he should be asking a few questions himself.

mossie and HPT,

Thanks for that steer, first time I have used that facility but it does make reading this thread a much more pleasant experiance :ok:

GasFitter

I have read every post you have written on this forum, and I have come to the conclusion that you are either a complete idiot or someone who isn't even in the mob.

I posted this forum because I know how fed up and sick the vast majority of people are, with the exception of some of the Typhoon fleet, who have a new toy to play with! It was aimed at the rank and file of the Air force.

They are not fed up with the pay, and many aren't even fed up with living in the sand pit. They are fed up with being nibbled to death by ducks! - similar to yourself really, you just keep nibbling don't you?

You just keep harping on about the same rubbish, day-in and day-out. Well you have had a bit of fun, but now please go away and stop winding people up with your stupid postings.

Gentlemen, could I suggest that no one else rises to GasFitter bait anymore - just leave him be to wallow in his own glorification!

To be absolutely fair to you, two of the earlier ones were supporting the Ops from in-theatre HQ, so if that equates to:

then, yes, you're right ... but I thought it was a team game!

However, certainly the last two were not and that's all I can say really.

Ah, silence is golden :p

From who??, I shall never be silent. Wrong but never silent. I was tempted to reply personally to my detractors but I just could not be bothered. Back to topic.....

CAS, Sir. did you add your voice to the senior Officers comments and the forming of the "Not Union" ??

Question for CAS:

When are you going to stop Nimrods doing AAR?

Why can't someone genuinely hold a different view. Sorry, TSM, I thought this was a Forum for discussion, not some North Korean sytle propaganda "everyone will agree with the thread-leader" nonsense!
Why can't you accept that there are some people out there that think, overall, they STILL actually enjoy being part of the Service they joined! It may have it's problems, but, hey, they don't have to moan about it in public! Ask yourselves whether you've turned into that boring old Gimmer, sitting in the Chesterfield in the Ante-Room, banging on about "How good it all was when I joined" rubbish. If so, then it's time to say, "Thanks for the memories" and shuffle away! Sorry for the democracy and daring to offer a different opinion "thread-leader".

I will say that I've received loads of PMs supporting my comments from people who don't want to break cover for fear of being called an idiot, chisler, knob etc .....
