You know your a Techie when....

[JT 4 ever]

This list is so true!! Nice one!

 

[billy bollox]

You know YOU'RE a TG15 techie when:

1. You have a strong enough grasp of the English language to know when to use "your" and "you're".

2. You still get a techie wage, but don't go home stinking of oil and swarfega.

3. You have a conversational spectrum that is somewhat wider than discussing aircraft and slagging off non-aircraft techies.

Yer........a throbber!!! Techies don't need to spell propper cos we don't give a sh*t anyway

You get that 'Gotcha!' feeling when you 'crack a fault'. DT_Xtremez_28:

And even though you have carried out u/c functs to the letter and all works fantastic, Indies are spot on etc etc, you still get that gut wrenching feeling as it call 10 mins out and then get the "I bloody well hope it lands ok" feeling!!!!

hi taz
avpin was a different game all together it had a strange smell which was,nt
unpleasant and quite sweet on the tongue( dont ask) it striped the oils out of the skin and if you wernt carefull your blood pressure would drop,causing fainting.the yanks hated it.on detachment to usaf bitburg we had to have an escort to move it around the base, as thay reguarded it as a liquid explosive.

 

[taz01]

Hi 185, bet the dumb yanks were soiling themselves over that then. mind tou have seen one dumb yank try to get the explosive filling out of a 30 mm H.E A-10 round. He only needed one glove at the end of it......DT_Xtremez_28:

Taz and 185 v ironic the spams not liking Iso Propyl Nitrate and who then introduced us to the pleasures of hydrazine.

The List at start of this thread was the funniest thing I've read in years.

BTW TG 15 is what we used to refer to as a double figure trade group,,,,ideal for sniff tests if we had ever needed to leave the shelter in anger.

 

[Tin basher]

You know your a techie when. You realise that seemingly everybody else gets exactly the same wage as you.

 

[Funcle]

You know you are a TECHIE when your head is stuck up your own arse and you think you can see the promised land

 

[Stevienics]

You know you are a techie when you see 15 different shaped reaction blocks on the tool kit and you know every cranny they have been mutilated to fit - and probably by whom (this could be exclusively rotary, but I doubt it)DT_Xtremez_15:.

You know you are a techie when:
Every day is a challenge.

[Talk Wrench]

You know you are a techie when:
Every day is a challenge.

You know you're a Techie when an HR guy calls you to discuss your pay cut, even though he's just had a pay rise.
