Why wouldnt you expect the same maxim from your current CO? Why would it be different today?

Lee has hit the nail on the head as whilst the guys have not done anything "wrong" they got caught, and in the current climate I imagine will have a hard job explaining, should someone way up the food chain enquire, the use of "betty's" money in this manner

Hyd 3

Guess you have yet to meet some those that Lee alludes to. We know, in the main, how they got to where they are today and how they intend getting somewhere higher tomorrow........hence his thoughts

all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

Having now recognised two of the culprit's as recently coming from "my neck of the woods" it's all starting to make sense

Lineslime, perhaps you should get yourself in the 'rotary way' and enjoy some OTF action. Having been on one of the so called 'jollies' (working 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week, skiing at the weekend on OWN money) I can honestly say it was a great welcome to the work hard / play hard ethos.
There was a chap on the Det who now works freelance for the daily m*rr*r...make of that what you will....

With less than 2 years left to do I don't really think a posting will help with my resettlement, but thanks for the offer anyway. I will just see out my days trying to get my head around the lean way of doing things and live the low life trying to keep albert flying.

Come on chaps - everyone is just plain JEALOUS!

All the bitching on this forum (and the Sun) is just a smokescreen for envy - shame on you all.

It is sooooo obvious that all of you would have loved to have been there - I know I would have! Sadly, it appears I left Cranditz a few months too early!

Well done 45 - keep up the good work - you have deserved at least one night off after all your hard work for HMG of late. It is so good to see so many excellent and hard-working characters had a good time but I didn't expect to see you in the SCUM!

Don't worry - all this cr@p will soon be forgotten and become 'old hat' (but I suspect you lot won't forget a good night out amongst friends - cos that's what it is all about).

Flip

ps I am off to PRG for a few nights away with Mrs Flip and some civvie chums. I would be v grateful if any of you could PM me with some good tips for a night out there (and which women to avoid)........seriously!

More Ouch

Now that is wasteful. £25k for a jolly to Prague was peanuts compared to this. Mind you,surely the trip to an airbase in Somerset MUST have been on official business.
