just thought Id pop in to the forum to say a quick f**k you to all the guys bad mouthing me as useual, In case you all missed me!

havn't been in for a while, some of us have a premier fighting force to try and join, and fast women to chase!!

couldn't resist passing coment!

once apon a time when I was a space cadet, I herd a guy I was on a gliding course with (who nobody really liked) had been walking down to the glider school in full uniform one saturday morning. He had swung by the spar shop to get lunch and a copy of the sun when a RAFP pulled up in a wagon, jumped out and in a trade mark authorive voice demanded some sort of ID from the little bastared. The cadet then put his shopping on the deck, started rumaging through his pockets for his ID. The snow drop then picked up sproggys copy of the sun, got back in his motor, and promptly f**ked off again. Pure genius! you cant write comedy like that!

also I once spent a week with the RAFP at Naphill (not in there custordy, but on work experiance). In the cadets we'd always presumed snowdrops were a bunch of white hated neandertals, this is not the case! all the ones Ive ever met are a good bunch of blokes!

Oh, and by the way, I consider myself a gonabe rockape, as I'm doing somthing about being a wanabe!

Take care of yourselfs, and each other.

Obviously the £10 note and the tin of shortbread I sent to your mummy as ransom payment has been successful!!

Great to see that you spent your time constructively by subscribing to a correspondence spelling course! The difference is noticable immediately!!
Nice to hear thatyour still trying to join "a Premier fighting force" and there were all of us thinking that you wanted to be RAF Reg. ( sorry guys that was good to be missed! ) Glad to hear that you're still able to find the time to "chase fast women" if you find that they are in fact too fast for you I suggest getting mummy to put her overalls on get her tools out of the coal shed and using them to take the stabilisers off your Grifter! i've always found in the past that this is good for another 2-3 mph!
Finally, I am sure I speak for all my RAFP brethren when I say that I am truly touched to hear you say that we are a good bunch of blokes, It makes the last 17 yrs of service seem almost worthwhile and the thought of you thinking such warm & fuzzy thoughts about us will surely warm my cockles in the darkest of hours when hope is all but lost!

You truly are the St.Jude of the Forums!

GOD BLESS you Gooner greenwhatsit!!!!!!!
Oh and I hope mummy enjoyed the shortbread
Lots of love H_N

You don't honestly think that I'd send her one of my "own" genuine tenners when there are always some "marked " notes lying about at work? Oh, as for the shortbread I made it myself, special like

Can this be the same Greenhill?
OK, there are still some signs of immaturity, but then some of my ex colleagues were in Bahgdad when he was still in Dad's Bag... but I am taking nothing away from the huge improvement in attitude and spelling!

And us Ex/Serving RAF Coppers did kind of miss you too...

I am sure if you use a google image search, you will see a Grifter (I was a Chopper man, myself!)

Forgive my failing memory (I forget my own name since I turned 30), but have you got a joining date Greeny?

Mr greenhill - you have obviuosly learnt a very valuable lesson, you have managed to return with a halfway decent post and with a little appropriate humour, so fiar one fella!!! Just a bit of advice there is nothing wrong with an ambition and confidence - just be careful when it borders on arrogance - that may stand you in good stead for your future career. So welcome back and play nice!!!!

Just returning a little to the topic, yeah The RAF Police have some bad apples, but so does every trade. But sometimes even the nicest copper gets wound up by a snotty git.

This has been on the RAFP site before, but I think it is worth repeating here for our Green-clothed cousins...

Scene - Main Gate at RAF Wyton (When RAFP used to man them)

Up drives Rory Underwood - England Rugby player, and Canberra pilot at the time....

RAFP: "Morning Sir - May I see your ID and Car Pass please?"

Rory (in a snotty way): "Don't you know who I am???" (Gotta love that phrase!)

RAFP: "Erm, Oh yeah!! You're Tony Underwood's brother....."

Better I play with that one, than someone else's - or I would have been forced to join the Fish Heads instead....

But then it don't make you a bad person anymore....

Just because its LEGAL it don't make it MANDATORY!!!

An ex FS of mine back in the days of RAFG allegedly put the following in a F6442
" Cpl XXXX is a supremely efficient policeman, as an investigator he has an almost intuitive talent for feeling collars, unfortunately for the RAF his fascination for touching mens apparrell does not stop there as he is also an avid shirt lifter.Therfore I have no hesitation in specially recommending him for promotion but on the condition that its in the Navy?"

In the Bootnecks people who want promotion go onto this thing called "The Candidates List" and every few months a thing called a 365A is produced. If the candidate gets consistantly good grades he's sent to do the JCC. Junior Command Course.

However a few words are written about the Candidates Attitude and suchlike. Once I had a gander at some really old 365A's at Eastney Barracks. (Alas now closed) Some of the comments made about some less than worthy Bootnecks from the days before it was deemed a good idea to make sure that all men joining the Marines could at least spell their own name nine times out of ten. They had me in tears!

"Marine ********* tries to the best of his limited mental ability"

"Mne ***** strives for perfection in all he does, unfortunately his idea of perfection is somewhat different from the rest of the Corps"

"Given time I feel that Mne ******** will be able to do up his own laces without help"

"This man is a Disaster desperately looking for an Area, I hope and Pray that he never finds one when I'm around him!"

It was well over 15 years ago so they are not word perfect but boy they were funny.

Do the RAF police have anything to do with RAF Rudlow manore (think thats how its spelt)? I did some shooting there once (on the range), always woundered what they did there?

Hostage_Negotiator · Post by **Hostage_Negotiator** » Tue 22 Mar, 2005 8:30 am

Not anymore! It was the old HQ P&SS
No thats not how its spelt
I didn't know they allowed Super Soakers on the range!
Oh and feel free to "wounder" away!

Hope this has been of assistance in your quest for information!
