Techies dont make up time off excuses!

How much time does PSF need for trade training- all they say now is 'you'll have to phome JPAC or ask your HR stuff' ?

Lazy cnut civvy stacker at a certain north-yorkshire base took great delight in telling a bunch of blokes in green to "fcuk off it's tea break".

Didn't seem too delighted when the stn cdr (who was one of said blokes in green) made sure he shat out of two holes forever more.

Beautiful turn of phrase! Nearly pished meself!

Perhaps it was because the tannoy system in the hangar actually worked and if only one person was in the crewroom at the time, they had access to the rest of the all singing and dancing SAOEU crew, via loudspeaker. They would then appear by the phone in the crewroom in minutes. 2626 I recall????

Can you imagine how depressing it was to live your entire life on 3 sides of a car park?

I can thoroughly recommend working on a joint unit for time off. Our brothers in green start the day at 0830, tea break 1000- 1030, lunch 1200-1300, tea break 1500-1530, knock off 1700. A couple of days a week PT for an hour, various soldier type training (soldiers first techies second!), endless briefings and adventure training. Realistically, if you take out all the time wasting, it's probably a 3 and a half day week.

Oh I'm sorry, my mistake, but isn't PSF there to provide a customer service????

I myself have been an NCO in charge of PDs, and granted there are a lot of SACs who work hard and deserve time off, but on the other hand, there are also many lazy fekkers who only look after number 1 and don't give 2 sh*ts about their customers or the other staff in the office. The number of times I had to have a quiet chat ........

So glad I'm outta there

Never a truer word said, escaped Handbrake house 7 years ago and dread the time of returning to it

Well what ****es me off is trying to run the desk on the squadron , dayshift best example , we mostly all x trained (Rigger / Sootie Job) not IP complete though !!! day consists of chasing up supply demands , items awaiting delivery , collecting stuff as supply aint got enough manpower, boxing up flying controls large items , identifying non ident numbers , in other words a (suppliers job), Then DI ing all vehicles , dropping then off /picking up from MT , refuelling wagons, cleaning wagons (MT Job) , throughout the day you are constantly trying to arrange manpower to get the flypro sorted , in the mean time constantly answering the phone from people like PSF / Med Centre asking if so and so is in and what shift he is on , when they could just call up the registry (Admin Job ) , travel claims , oh sorry must use JPA and audit all my receipts, book leave , ask FS if its ok.Sort leave for the shift lads (PSF job) and just to top things off 2 weeks on guard duty next week ,damm have to book a CCS course and a WHT to sit on the gate for 1 week (RAF Police job)

Some time to be a Rigger and work on aircraft would be nice !!!!

I think im qualified to be Multiskilled in about 5 trades now , so i reckon make all them trades redundent , pay all engineers them left over wages and we will just run the damm station !!!

Its no bloody diffrent to what im doing now !!!

Sorry Rant over DT_Xtremez_42:

Billy,

You are in the same position as most people I know. My clerky-type qualifications and experience means that I can be employed as an ordinary office clerk, accountant, secretary, pay specialist, discip, IT systems administrator and usually some or all of these things at the same time.

On my sqn, the guys are swapped around between shifts so often (usually in a desperate attempt to make best use of the skillsets available) that we in the registry almost never know who is on which shift from one day to the next.

As for sorting out your travel claims and your own leave, well that's just personal admin - do you expect the barber to come to you? And sorting out leave for the shift lads goes with being a manager, whoever and wherever you are. Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of JPA, but it wasn't some adminer's bright idea.

I do think guard duty needs looking at, though. In my view, we no longer have the capacity to spend time away from our primary duties to do station security. Time was, it was a week out of the office. These days, I take work with me to do while I am not on the gate.

 

[referee806]

Being selected for CSRR duties is the best excuse in the book, especially as most of the games are over the border in the Father Land, at least 3 days off for travelling, refereeing and then recovering from the post match celebrations. However being the athlete as I am, it's only orange juice and we all know what too many orange juices does to ones body. As we know Combined Services is Duty.

Well that's what I tell OC Domestic Command

PSF at Waddo. open from 9-12, shut in the afternoon except for "emergencies," the Med Centre is also shut about one thursday a month for Training, which fair enough, medical staff do need training often. PSF though, every single afternoon shut, and judging by when I have been there fixing PCs, always gone by around 4 - 4.30. Part timers the lot of them

I always miss out on the good postings. When I was in PSF at Waddo, we were open 8 till 5 every day of the week, including Friday. We even provided a lunchtime service. Officially we were closed for customers from 4, but in reality we never turned people away. How times change.
