Another Fleet Air Arm bod here. I once tried to compromise with a bootneck (Royal Marine) by calling him a Royal bootneck. It didn't go down well.

I nearly ended up working with the MOD's MI Computing boys.

My brother was in the Navy for 8 years or so. Don't think I'd join, myself, but he had a good time.

Was red cross medic volunteer for 6 years, via red cross army. Missed the first spat in Afghanistan coz of my gall bladder going on strike, then had to write myself off from the service when I found out I was pregnant. Was supposed to be going out on RFA Argus second fleet, front line. Shoulda seen Grinch's face when I told him that news!!! He coulda kissed my surgeon at Haslar coz he pronounced me unfit for duty!!

Never been in the forces myself but I deal with them every day of my working life...

The oxymoron Military Inteligence springs to mind, having said that I deal with their pay, its amazing how many of them get their bank details completely wrong, or even better don't give us any then moan when they don't get paid - DUH!!!

Also the fact I deal with Royal Artillery doesn't help... The REME Boys tend not to be as bad, I've had dealings with them as well... Need a modicum of inteligence to work for them... Which worries me cause I was asked to join the REME five weeks after I joined my work, inteligence me??? To be honest I couldn't have joined the forces as I don't take well to lead entering my body at high speed!!!

Cant wait to see the farce that Tri-Service is gonna bring up... God they still harp on about senior service to each other, so childish
