Cold weather gear? I thought you were tough!? [:D]

Rumor has it there aren't many trees down there to block the wind, either. [X(]

It's free stuff. I don't need it, but it's about time the dullards working in clothing stores actually let me have some kit for a change. I don't know what the rest of the world is like, but in the RAF at least, the stackers apparently pay for all our kit out of their own money. [8|]

I confess that I had to Google "stackers" and sift through definitions!

What, do they think you're faking going to the Falklands?! "Do you really need a warm coat?" Sheesh.

Do you know when you'll leave?

Some point between now and July. In theory I'm ready to move, but in actuality I'm nowhere near! I've not done the courses they're making me do, I've not contacted the section down there, I don't have any cold weather gear and I've got no transport down to Brize sorted.


You should have a turn in your inbox btw, it got sent last week.

I recieved a turn on the 26th, yes, to which i responded on the 27th. I haven't recieved any turn after that [&:]

Are you suggesting that your administrative aspects of the RAF or the British military may not be fully informed of your needs? That there may be inefficiencies or duplication of effort in future deployment arrangements? Because that would never happen in any other...

Wait...never mind...I was thinking of something else.

I'm suggesting they're fully aware of my needs but are terrible at their jobs. They already tacked an extra (pointless) course onto my prep work after I avoided a similar one a few months back. I can't wait to spend a week at Brize Norton learning about large aeroplanes.

... hmmm ... I seem to recognize the mindset somehow [:D]

Re-sent my last turn in case there's been a glitch somewhere. In case you've done a reply to that one and sent it to me, I think you need to resend it as well.

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: AW1Steve

You know , I'm foolish. I keep thinking that there ought to be somewhere where I can discuss strategy and tactics in a historical as well as current perspective. No one seems to be able to do this without getting personal. Is there any where in the internet that I can find a place where mature , intelligent adults can get together and discuss such matters , without pissing off each other as well as the authorities? [&:] Probably not.....I'm thinking it's time for what seems to be my long annual vacation from the forum.[:(] Later friends! [8|][:(]

What's happening Steve?

I was away (extremely busy at work) for just two days and now I find that you are leaving... [:(]

Tired this morning. When my local hockey team is playing in California the 0130 finishes are rough the next morning when the alarm goes off at 0530.

I'm thinking about going into Roman chariot racing. It's something fresh, at least.
