What are you doing in Aus now?.....still in aircraft work? or had a change of heart.
So you trained at Halton, which side of the parade ground where you

When I knew I was going to leave I started to take full advantage of the education flight, did 4 years at uni on day release and a couple of years at night school. I'm now a fully trained male pole dancer

Hi all, 19 years as a RAF Stacker and still serving, we have had our medicals last friday and are now just playing the waiting game.
I think they don't make bedpacks anymore as it infringes on the recruits human rights or something like that.
Looking forward to leaving, had a great time, been to some crappy places but still enjoyed it all.

Come on folks "WATCH YOUR SECURITY". No offence but if your going to mention names, units and postings please PM each other. There are still plenty of nasties out there gathering intelligence.

"SECURITY" is not a dirty word.

OMG!

Are the Brits still in western Europe?

Whats the threat now? I thought someone turned the last light off when the wall came down

The way some of the more, er...how do I put this....'culturally challenged' Brits on this forum put it, I thought the whole of the eastern block was either in London now or running up the Chunnel to get there!

Oh, shut up you dick!

What planet do you live on?

I know a fair bit about security, intelligence and the like.....what's being said 'anonymously' on this forum, gives 'jack sxxx' away! How does, someone saying where they're posted to, compromise security of any description? Bet you still play with toy guns don't you?
