Opportunity to do AACC as a REME electronics technician?

I've never seen anyone wear the lightbulb.

Even fat matelot chicks in the SPAG wear wings instead of the lightbulb.

Me neither. A mate of mine who passed AAPC got his light bulb at Brize. He told me he felt gutted, as the guys stood next to him got their blue badge of courage. He still wore wings back at Bulford, though. None of our ex 216 or 264 seniors or officers ever said anything to him, though.
No idea if he went on to serve at 216.

Have you ever seen the lightbulb worn?

Once I think, probably most people awarded it don't bother to wear it and endevour to get themselves posted to an airborne unit. It only applies to the army anyway.

My old OC in 652 sqn AAC, had a lightbulb.
He was some kind of donkey walloper (15/19th I think).

I honestly can't see why people wouldn't be happy to stitch on a lightbulb.

It's the parachute qualification.

End of.

I think post #21 by WolvoExPunk answers it.

A Welsh speccy twat by any chance?

Come to think of it, I think he was a druid, I don't remember him wearing lamps though.

Is she your Ex or something? Every thread that involves BPC involves you talking about her. Did she flip you over and peg you until you begged for more?

No.

Well it would be sometime back, I was on 5 AB and that was back in 1984 just before I got hoofed to Germany.
5 AB was rebranded as something or other back in 86 I think?

Was 1996 - sadly he was killed crossing road outside Potters.
