| 194.1 | and I got my bounty ;-) | PEKING::NASHD | | Mon Apr 19 1993 09:35 | 20 |
| just finished another training weekend, we spent all our time in one of
the hangers practising but, the time allowed was gradually reduced for
each circuit. The "prize" being that for each penalty point one
press-up was required. I had to do 17 :-)
Also, we had to sign for our dog tags. We weren't actually issued with
them but they are in our files - come the day they'll be ready ;-(
Other than that it was a quiet weekend. Another flight went on a
weekend jaunt to Italy via Scotland, rumour has it these sort of
weekends are going to be more frequent.
We took control of a new Commanding Officer - a Wing Commander no less
when the normal rank for the position is one lower, a Squadron Leader.
I wonder if there's any significance in this appointment.
Oh yes, three more people resigned and one transferred to the regulars
so out of 30 that started there's about 12 left.

| The powers that be made another stupid decision IMHO and I couldn't
hold my tongue any more. RESULT: I'm out of the reserves. Damn!
Although I miss the reserves I'm in no hurry to consider rejoining.
I'ld have preferred to have kept my mouth shut but having effectively
written off any chance of rejoining I'm left with the medics or
infantry.
I'll give it a few months.
Anyone else suffered from post-reserves blues?

| To satisfy my curiosity what was the decision and what did you say??
Steve..

| 194.4 | It was like this. | PEKING::NASHD | | Wed Jun 23 1993 13:17 | 20 |
| Well, now Steve.
I've noticed that usually whenever there's someone in charge
of others ( ie a number 1 ) there's a colleague to help ( number 2).
The No 1 is given a task and delegates it to No 2. So, the competance
of the number 1 doesn't really matter. But, the number 2 must know what
he/she is doing.
Well, a person was appointed as our #2. This person had been #2 before,
panicked and yours-truly had to sort out the mess. When it was
announced that this person was to be #2 until our training was completed
in November I let out a few comments on her competance and the wisdom of
the NCO(s) who had made it.
I was told that as I didn't like the decision I could go on to the
next training flight starting in June, or leave. I told them I wanted
no part of a group who couldn't recognize an ar*&#le! Then left.
Why didn't I keep my mouth shut...

| 194.5 | Sounds familiar | PEKING::SERJEANTS | Don't end up a Victim of Love | Wed Jun 23 1993 15:29 | 10 |
| Unfortunately Dave, the situation you described has a very familiar
ring to it, but there is nothing that you as the guy at the bottom can
do about it. I guess it's the system. You live with it or go.
Unfortunately you chose the latter.
Steve..
PS What about joining the Wessex Regt ?????
