Right. Back to the melee that is today's Air Force. Cheers.
Is todays Air Force more like having mobile phones and being on internet forums, because when I left in 1990 it had been all about getting absolutely hammered every night down the local Town, or down the Bop etc hoping that you didn't get a Taceval wake up at 4am on a Friday (which is what usually happened) Are you talking about e-goat with the points system ?

Not e-goat but ARRSE. e-goat is a bit too serious for me and Pprune too posh. Don't do Tacevals, I sometimes pass the order but I haven't seen one for ages. Manpower problems I think. Used to love sending the East Anglians, Lincs folk to Lossiemouth, and the Lossiemouth lot to Cornwall. Hammered not allowed now really, unless you have a few days off. Very strict on drink and drug random testing. Long weekend from tomorrow (Friday) so they can bugger off until Monday.

I forgot about the ARRSE website as I always thought it was basically for the Army. I of course can respect the strictness nowadays regarding drink and drugs, what with Human Factors and Health and safety. I have to admit I got a little disappointed when I noticed Ramp Tramps starting to wear Hi-Viz tabards. I hope that they don't have to wear them if it kicks off anywhere. Also, as much as I hated Tacevals, mainly because I hadn't joined up to be running around with a rifle at 4am after 10 Wobblies and several Apfelkorn chasers, it would seem strange to not be having them at least once a month. Gloswhite: What's a Sopwith I was on Tonkas back then when they where pretty new and shiny. Half my mates from training ended up on Victors at Marham. Poor sods. I got some half decent jollies in my time, and got out before the first Gulf War. I did get a letter from the MOD when it kicked off telling me I might have to go back to Marham as support but luckily it didn't happen. I would have rather have been in the Desert than back in Norfolk.
