Mobile Phone calls in Uniform ?

  • Following weeks of work, the E-GOAT team are delighted to present to you a new look to the forums with plenty of new features. Take a look around and see what you think!
Many of the responses have been thought through but the bottom line is that everyone has a duty to uphold the dress standards and military bearing expected by a member of the Royal Air Force. Having a mobile telephone in use whilst moving around, eating/ drinking and smoking cigarettes are all activities that should no be performed whilst on duty and in uniform.

Having a mobile phone on at meals in the Officers Mess is very much frowned upon and I would hope that this example is carried on in other ranks dining facilities.


To be honest, we are too busy throwing food and smearing our sh1t on the walls to care. Come on, this is how your kind view us, admit it.
 
Its in SSOs at my location. If you need to make or take a call you stand still and keep your saluting hand free.

Eating whilst moving around camp in uniform is also frowned upon. In fact I have moves are afoot to shore up the orders regarding this because of a case of chewing gum whilst in work.


Thats the same at my location.
 
Thats the same at my location.

Same at a large transport base near Oxford.

Personnel when walking around the Station, in uniform, are to stand still to receive or make telephone calls.

Now where are those holders of the Queen's Commission and those Back End Ballast baby snec aircrew who don't think SSOs Part 2 Para 143 (c) applies to them? :PDT_Xtremez_32: As for the SACs, get ready to hear some whinging how a nasty fat Chief told them off. :PDT_Xtremez_30:

Its a phone. Chewing gum with a tab in your hand looks scruffy. Talking into a phone does'nt. Unless you're the type who gets throbbing veins in your head over something so very trivial. Get a room in the block. Your wife has left you.
 
I'm with you on this Ron, if he was wearing his beret, holding the phone in his left hand, standing still and now slouching against a wall then he has a right to take a call, after all it's not a matter of life or death is it? I'd like someone to show me the rules about this if i was well presented and all was above board when I was talking on a phone off camp in uniform.
 
Surely life is too short for people getting ****ed off by this type of thing?

My wife is pregnant right now so I always have my phone with me, I dont see how the RAF can enforce any rules on you once you are off camp.

Unfortunately, the RAF is full of ****s who just like bollocking people, like the SNCO who was mentioned earlier. People need to get a ****ing grip.

Sometimes, I ****ing hate being in the military.

I honestly thought you were taking the pi$$. But obviously not, and it is because of asrewipes like you the RAF is the way it is today. It has been said before, Bye Bye and close the door on the way ouy, and not a moment to soon.wankerwankerwanker
