A couple of questions for you. If you spent as much time being the focus of Orderly Room procedures and Q.R's as you claim.

Why did it take 9 years to shift you to your rightful status, i.e civilian?

Once you got there, did you find civvy street receptive to your anti-authoritarian point of view?

If we are 'pondlife', where are you?
 
There was once a time when the RAF had loads of 252's and looking back we now call them characters not all of them were really that bad.

Welcome aboard.
 
Welcome to the Goat! Enjoy!

Oh and Drillbit there are a couple of members called Pondlife:PDT_Xtremez_42:

Really Fomz what happened to him?
 
I managed it first week at swinditz................! :PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
Good to see things havent changed that much with the good guys(and gals)outnumbering the cabbages by about 4 to1.

My appoliges to the Mardyrigger for my poor ratio of charges to years
but i did break into the NAAFI once just didnt get caught!.
 
Welcome 252,had a line full of 252,s When on the lead great lads/lineys.When off the lead a total nightmare.Had to be vicious but fair to keep them in check,sound lads.
 
Welcome to the goat mate. Nice to have someone with a bit of a cheeky personality on board. Dont pay too much attention to the guys who take it to heart too much.

Enjoy!

I was charged once..... I wore a wonder-bra and fake eyelases on the day it was read and my Sqn Ldr dismissed the charge! ;)
 
Nice tatics RAF BIRD,unfortunatley when i tryed that i got an extra 7 days jankers!.
On the level though me mate Tots once wore his girlfriends sussies under his No2 trousers when up on a fizzer(well to be honest he wore them most days!).
