Our Military

What trade @Bob T

 

Civvies in uniform but the RAF are a good bunch.

They don't smash the bar up, so maybe I am just biased : o )

 

Ok sorry should have included RAF

 

It was 1990 I was stood on that parade ground as a young air engineering mechanic. I had a fantastic time and the training I received from Her Majesty was second to none.

 

Started as a Eng Tech A.

 

Rigger eh, they joined now to the engine boys. Same as AV now joined to Leckies. Armourers still seperate entity though.

 

Wash your potty mouth out Lozzi Raptor

 

Strange are their ways, those Armourers : o )

 

Just repeating what the Yeoman of Signals told me. I have to believe him, don't I? : o D

 

As an ex 'grunt'...The Royal Navy and the RAF are o.k. but they are just Infantry support.....

 

Foot Slogging Infants are some of the brightest guys I've ever met !!

 

With a father in the army and two sisters married to soldiers, I knew what path I was not going to take. I joined the RAF instead.

 

Don't forget the bib and the home pride hats

 

Just because their better dressed than you lot, but never mind you lot had much better groomed hair.

 

Yep, that sure does look a snappy outfit broke..........

 

Rules, discipline then, and only then, rewards.

 

I did just shy of 23 years in the REME (Army) and while its an ever changing environment in regards to future manning levels etc, I still think it was a fantastic time and experience

 

Edited for you
