One does NOT talk about salary in the Officers Mess.I certainly don't recall this high level of wit and repartee in the Officers' Mess.
Yeah, I'm happy to concede that point to you I suppose - I just don't like being misquoted.
Rightly or wrongly the opportunities to just stay employed by the army (NRPS followed by FTRS) just kept coming along. I never fancied trying LE and being not professionally qualified in anything that might have translated to a worthwhile career change in civvy street (bar the 4 O levels I left school with) I just stayed. Best decision I ever made to be honest.
I totally don't understand the contempt and scorn displayed by certain members on here for having remained in a well-paid job that suits me. I only ventured onto this thread to offer some constructive advice and 1 simple fact, yet within a few short posts, I'm besieged by rude morons indulging in a pissing contest.
Bank work you say? I'd be interested to know what your army background was if you wish to take it to PM? Just curious.![]()
just so!Like pouring water on a Gremlin?
Oh dear. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?
You claimed you were on just under a grand a week "take home" as I recall.
Do the arithmetic son. That's circa £50k a year which means you must be on at least £60k a year before tax.
Or so you say ... army reject ...
Ladies’ Nights on a Thursday in BAOR so the pads didn’t have their Friday night early start to the long weekend screwed up. Singlies routinely rifted for getting shiters en masse for want of anything else to do in the absence of the girlfriend who works in the U.K.And also because membership of the Offrs or Sgts mess is obligatory even if you never step foot inside the place. Not so Jnrs who "use" messing facilities and the NAAFI. The half-way house is the Cpl's Club which is usually just a separate area of the cookhouse and NAAFI to avoid feeding time at the zoo.
Which brings me to the other difference. Mess balls, cocktail parties and dinners. I lost count of the amount of times I'd end up having to subsidise the social habits of the middle-aged pads and their wives by having the costs of a ball or a dinner I didn't want to attend added to my mess bill whether I was there or not. Oh, and mess related secondary duties as "Silvers Member" having to waste your time counting out and then back in the knives, forks, spoons and candelabras after each event. The highlight of those shit dits being made a member of the "Wines Committee" by a joker of a PMC who knew I never touched the stuff. In reality all he wanted was a designated driver who could stay sober enough to stay on the road while he and his mates went on wine drinking jollies in the name of "buying" the shite in France. It never occurred to him that he didn't need to dick me for this, he could have just asked nicely and I might have done him a favour anyway in return for letting me off paying a fortune for the shit parties I never attended.
Figures. Mildly amusing but a bit boring now I suppose. Thanks for the heads-up...BS is renowned throughout Arrse as a major troll, who enjoys winding up those who engage in willy waving contests. If you feed it, it will bite. DO NOT FEED........... I have it on ignore.

Yep, so you say chap.I'm admiring the fact you just keep digging and make yourself look like a twat
A, Someone paying tax and NI would need to earn 70k (not 60k) to take home 50k. Hows your arithmetic now, smartarse?
B, I don't pay income tax or NI
Yep, so you say chap.
You crack on in Stacker-World - I'm about done with your bullshit and puerile baiting... it's been fun ...![]()

He's correct though.Everybody's a hat to an airborne crow like yourself innit? Just what the thread needs - another ****** with a chip ..

I'll have you know he's been "twice up at the sharp end".I believe you also have me on ignore too so you will not be offended by the following invisible statements.
You served a minimal amount of time (sans rank) in the army, decades ago, and never did an operational tour.
Your opinions on anything military related are as pointless as putting risqué underwear on your pig of a missus.
How do you figure I'm a hat you spoonhead?He's correct though.
You are a hat and being FTRS your blood group is Dolmio.
Proud?How do you figure I'm a hat you spoonhead?
I'm well aware of what my blood group is thanks. The colour of my blood is red ( blue in me veins obviously) but since you have an obvious aversion to guys like me that went beyond the normal EED date ... I can only assume that your blood is the colour of yellow.
You must be so proud ..
Chips plural. We're not all peasants on 40kEverybody's a hat to an airborne crow like yourself innit? Just what the thread needs - another ****** with a chip ..
Thank fcuk for that. The thought of engaging with a gold-rimmed reactolites wearing, generator mechanic genuinely makes me cough up vomit.BS is renowned throughout Arrse as a major troll, who enjoys winding up those who engage in willy waving contests.
