"The only crazy ones are people wanting to join the RFA. Now, that IS crazy! Why, oh why I ask myself everyday."

I am not crazy. If you are asking yourself that everyday, I think you may be. Just let us applicants worry about what companies we apply for, we don't need you to do so for us!

I know you guys want to get on topic again but I would just like to say that I can see those guys for what they are!

I have just done the AIB and am awaiting results, regardless of whether I get accepted or not, I would not listen to a word that goinggoinggone or his friends/alteregos have said he's obviously well grudged and clearly isn't RFA, and I will continue to hold both the RFA and RN in high regard for the work they do and the risks they take in doing it.

It would be a very sad day that the government decided to do away with the RFA by whatever means, be it merging, which is a ridiculous notion, or privatisation which is just going to cost more in the long run.

Talk is cheap.

You missed the point of my previous post with all that thrashing around on your keyboard.

You (and your other personalities) clearly need counselling; there's nothing wrong with that.
This is not meant as a cheap remark, I genuinely think your best interests are served by talking to someone in real life rather than setting your keyboard on fire on an irrelevant little online forum that isn't moderated properly with things you might later regret.

Do yourself a favour, and don't respond to any more messages here, there are no "winners".

Sounds like the only numpty on here is you! to be fair if you are in the RFA then use your balls face to face with your appointer and commodore. At the end of the day most of your views are GASH! also your misconduct could cost you your job. There are ways the MOD could find out who you are from your email and ip address. so either pipe down and grow up or leave the site, because everything i have been looking at on here from you will be looked at on Tuesday morning. probably a good idea to look for another job if you are RFA. if not think about how you will pay the fine you will probably be getting.

good luck for your future.

xx

Who the hell do you think I am? Michael bloody Winner?

As long as there are numpties on this site I will not 'calm down' I hate the way the outfit is going, and I have to stand for what I believe is right. If that means upsetting people along the way then tough. Oh, and for the record, I 100% wouldnt right anything here that I wouldnt say to my appointer/Commodore etc. Ok, I may not swear to them, and I apologise for that on here. That aside I would say everything else.

I feel sorry to a certain extent for new recruits. Ok, some love it and relish it, that is fine. But others are being taken on a long a winding journey down the garden path by HQ recruitment and at thei relevent naval training establishments. The RFA IS NOT the merchant navy, nor is it the Royal Navy. What I want to know is, what the hell is it? We are told that we are doing moreand more Navy tasks but NONE of the perks like coach and rail discount cards, or use of facilities such as the navy sail traning and adventourous training. I was told I am BOTTOM of the list coz I am RFA? What is the crack?

We get shoddy accomodation on training courses, have to do more and more matelot training and not an ounce of respect for it by senior mnagement. And the way it is run also leaves a lot to be desired.

So your "taking a stand" is anonymously bitching on an internet forum to an audience primarily made up of people currently in the application process... Do you not agree that you should perhaps rethink the direction of your comments?

An ex-RFA rating with multiple accounts with a split personality or just a s hit personality?

It's about time you zipped your trousers up and visited one of these sites:

Well, Ishmael. Welcome to this forum, full of wonderful views and insites into the wonderful world of the RFGay, oh bugger, sorry, must stop saying that, the RFA.

I am sure you will find it a most pleasant experience. Regarding zipping my trousers up, I am sorry but I only wear shorts, or button flies but I will let you off that one cause you don't know me so that is to be expected.

Anyway, I do not think you are a tosser, that was bad by prospect nil, whoever that may be. No, indeed I do not. I think your a complete and utter prick who should just wind his neck in and F**k OFF! But, that aside, I love you xx

I'm smart enough to have a mind of my own however I'm also smart enough to have respect for and to listen to those who know more than I do and those who have more experience.


Starboard - you could have fooled me, the last sentance anyway. I know more than you think I do, but respect on here??!! I might change my name to Aretha, then I am bound to have a bit of R E S P E C T
