Inside RAF Brize Norton

Glad to see you revert to type Phil.

We're you a rock ape? Your intellect would suggest so. Armourer perhaps?........A I'm an armourer. B I'm an armourer. C I'm an Armourer..........

Quite a big contradiction to think that calling a mover a baggage handler (they have never heard that one before) is disrespectful but its fine to discredit a conflict medal.

Don't worry though, I'm a little less dramatic than you and do not think I really made any significant contribution to deserve the medal. Whereas the descent into Bastion etc does. What was the scary part? When they dimmed the cabin lights or when they stopped the tea & coffee service?

Brave little soldier x

When did I suggest you didn't make any significant contribution towards gaining that medal nor did I discredit anything bar suggest the little prick on it suits you in response to you calling me a muppet.

No not a rock nor an armourer - Telecoms tech and worked as a special forces communicator( I'm sure you know what they do ) for 10 years. So had to deal with a few more problems than the descent into Bastion - which is no picnic on its own.

Special Forces radio tuner!!!!! Wow

BTW. a Muppet is the nickname that techies gave to the movers. But you saw it fit to relate it to yourself, I can only respect your honesty :thup:

Radio tuner ?! Really :rofl: That will be the operator you will be talking about

My OH was a mover until she left - so basically she can confirm you're talking utter ***** but it wouldn't be the first time for A/C tech

Now that's got me curious, never heard of a RAF tech working as an operator with either 18 Signal Regiment or 16 Bde Sig Sqn :mmm:

Teminology (or pedantry) communicators/ operators communicate, Techs fix things or, when they can't, back load them under the civvy contract. ;)

Well the last bit is getting truer each year - dumbing down of skills because they don't need to fix stuff

And I was part of a bunch RAF Techs attached to "fix" stuff in the field when required - tough but good times

Then you were never out on the ground with UK SF or R. Signals close EW support.

I'm not sure what a wannabe soldier is called - kinda like an ambulance chaser I s'pose.

Perhaps neither you or your life partner were in the RAF. Being a mover I'd have thought they'd be aware of their own nickname!!

Even got their own section under shop floor.

Have you watched Top Gun Phil?

When did I say anything about their nickname ?

Do you read posts and then decide to change what people have said ?

Ambulance chaser ? Wannabe soldier ?

Anything else you want to throw at me ?

I do apologise Phil, when you said that your OH was a mover and said I was talking bull, I presumed he had never heard of the term Muppet. I didn't realise you meant bull in general, which I can't disagree with.

Please pass on my apologies to them
