Yer but no but yer - shut up and don't go givin me no big evils!!!!



Not a pointer - a dig!!!!

DA - I couldn't agree more with your last post. Those who join up just to be an officer tend to be the very worst type (our trade is full of them is it not?). My advice would be to stick with the trade you want or at the VERY least have one strong second choice. I am in no way trying to slate the ...

Rawli - I think they were refering to a high shine, put neats foot oil on and they will be dull a feck forever !!!!

I am not sure if it makes any difference for Officers during branch training (and it shouldn't) but Airman are entitled to FMQs during phase 2. I am not entirely sure if this depends on the lenght of your training or not though.

Hostage - try baby wipes, gets it off a treat and leaves your skin lovely and soft!!!!

Then Rockapemk1, you have already learnt a very VALUABLE lesson that will stand you in good stead. I have had to baby sit a few very junior officers, some have been fantastic and asked and listened. Others have been arrogant, aloof and stupid - a warning to those in IOT or getting close to going ...

Splitter - you beat me to it. A gentle warning as well, there is nothing more infuriating than seeing baby Aircrew plastic Sgts acting like tossers in the mess. Some of us spent and awful long time getting there...that may be worth remembering. Please take this in the spirit it is intended ...

I think the reaction to this post should show some of the knobbers on here what happens WHEN someone makes a well thought, well constructed enquiry...they get decent advice !!!! I too agree with the majority fella, give 21/23 a go, but I am not talking from any personal experience whatsoever so ...

To the lady thats joining as a nursing officer - I work at the tri-service nurse training unit. I know you are already qualified but I wouldn't worry about your futre income, the good ladies and gents I work with in the PMs earn CONSIDERABLY more than me !!!!!! And don't you only have to go to ...

Sorry sticky - the guys bloke's comments seriously annoyed me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when it is such an inflamatory statement based on a few weeks training and showing such a complete and utter lack of respect, I had to let fly !!!


I'm off back in my box now

My view is and will always be, if they pass the course under the same conditions and standards as men then they have a right to serve regardless of sex. As for saying women have no place anywhere they can be in contact with the enemy, rubbish, absolute rubbish. The days when just the infantry were ...

So the rest of the Army is shit and all TAs are shit???? My god you have got one hell of a shock coming son, the sooner you get it the better!!!! Reservists from all 3 services bring a great deal to the armed forces, yes there are some knobs and walters but there are also plenty in the regulars ...

Just out of interest, the Military health care proffesionals that I work with tell me that the Americans have been giving their aircrew a form of Amphet for years. BUT, it is controlled and above all prescribed, not bought illegally and used to "get off ones's tits" - I believe there is a clear ...

I am sure we are all very, very downhearted that we will not be getting an officer that has a past history of drug use!!!! The AFCOs must be inconsolable that you will no longer be applying.

HN - you are right, that should quite clearly be "Unter" !!!!!!
