...is an American doing on this board. Well, I was invited by a friend of mine in the RAF to take a look around and so I did. Before the flaming begins, let me try and introduce myself. I'm a TSgt stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany (I put the country in just in case other Americans might be reading - not a very bright lot when it comes to geography). I did my first three years here in AIRNORTH, now CC-AIR Ramstein, and then moved back to the dark side and I now work US/Nato Air C2 interoperability. That's a fancy way of saying that I try and get TBMCS Force Level to talk with ICC. It has the added advantage of making it look like the USAF actually cares about working with Nato and other coalition partners - which they do, as long as they're using TBMCS.

The bright side of this is that I get to work closely with Nato, and the RAF in particular. Evidently, clues are still issued in some militaries and I've been lucky enough to work with a few RAF Sgt's and Squadron Leaders who must have a corner on the market.

I have a very dry, dark, and sarcastic sense of humor which must be why my friend thought I would enjoy this board. I'm looking forward to lurking around, and maybe posting if I feel I have something worthwhile to contribute. I hope that you will forgive any spelling mistakes. As I said, I'm an American and so English is not my native language.

Oh, one last thing...I was told that once I reach 50 post I will be qualified for the "I survived e-goat" ribbon, which I believe goes just above the Defense Meritorious Service ribbon on our service coat...
 
Welcome our American cousin, sounds like you've got your head screwed on the right way, enjoy and please feel free to interject at any time!

Welcome to the Goat TSgtBaldrick, no idea what TBMCS or ICC are but it sounds the business. Do you know what trade the RAF Sgts that you've worked with are?

1. You should fit right in then.

2. Posting is more fun !

3. You had the balls to come here, but crucifying the mother tongue will not be overlooked. :PDT_Xtremez_31: :PDT_Xtremez_30:

Welcome

This man can not be an American!!!

He has demonstrated an understanding of sarcasm and irony in his first post...Tread carefully people...reckon we got ourselves an infiltrator...:PDT_Xtremez_15:

Welcome Balders...
 
Welcome colonial!!

Welcome colonial!!

We hope there are some cunning stunts to come from someone with such an illustrious name - your relatives in England go back hundreds of years.....
 
Mmmm - a yank who understands Blackadder eh? As Vim said, either an infiltrator or someone who can actually see how sh1te Benny Hill is (cos them colonial types actually fookin love it)

Lets just see how much they're going to like the next fookin comedian we're sending them - Victoria Beckham.................
 
Welcome - and a stunned silence from me - you must be unique among your fellow countrymen - no wonder you have turned up here!!!
 
Hmm, an American with a sense of humour......... I think MC has now got at least three alter egos too many!

Welcome to the goat mate. Some of my best friends are American, although the one who joined the USMC went a bit odd.

On suggestion though: could you put a glossary on your posts? The acronyms mean c0ck-all to most of us:PDT_Xtremez_28:

Unfortunately, this poor lad has had to spend a lot of time with the collie, and some it may have had a detrimental effect on him.

I'll say this much for him, he doesn't like Americans that much, and will try and keep up with me in the various beer/wine/port sessions that I occassionally embark on. (And we're talking decent beer, not spam p1sh).

Well done for posting balders, ignore the Island Monkeys if they get too rough.:PDT_Xtremez_31:
 
Well that has to be a first, no mention of handing over $20. I'm shocked and stunned.

Welcome aboard Baldrick, and enjoy.

Eh Collie, do you think he'd last a bottle of Blackcurrant?
 
Hi there - Did 3 years there myself 1998-2001, worked in a different bldg though (Now the new one is open) . Enjoy the 'Goat' and ask the Brits for any translations !

Welcome Balders and no home cooking for me if you will. :PDT_Xtremez_35:
