Royal Army Dental Corps.....

[bigjarofwasps]

Hi,

I heard a rumour that the RADC has been dispanded, and become part of the RAMC is this true?

I also heard that the Royal Welsh have taken the RADC stable belt as theres?

Am I having my leg pulled or is this true?

 

[Queensman]

Leg pulled or tooth pulled? Arf arf.....

Had a quick check up..... here's a filling for you...

There you are Sir, everything looks alright to me - see you in 6 months!

 

[Tazzers]

Is this one of the 'teeth' arms?

I'll get my coat.

 

[Queensman]

Brace yourself for this ...... Your crowning comment certainly caps the situation and its wisdom gets to the root of the matter.....and is most incisive.

Enough.

......any room under your coat?

We live in hope!

 

[Fang_Farrier]

I should hope not.

It's still very much a separate corps in the same way the QA are but all three work together as AMS, Army Medical Services.

 

[bigjarofwasps]

Cheers guys.

 

[Ventress]

Always here to help.

Perhaps all three work as the AMS despite each other

Well I can definitely recall one or two very good relationships with some QAs!

Ideas are bubbling however,at Ministerial level,about having a single Royal Army Medical Service doing the lot.
That should make certain Dental officers shit themselves,trying to be proper officers.

Good effort, resurrect a two year old thread to get on your soapbox and spout bollocks.

Ah,an expert on it,there's always one.

 

[Forastero]

An expert on what? Resurrecting old threads or spouting bollocks? The great thing about the interweb is that it attracts all sorts of idiocy and armchair theorists and you clearly fit into the former and probably the latter too. No matter, they usually get ignored and/or bored fairly rapidly and disappear up their own self-righteous chuff spouting something along the lines of 'It was never like that in MY day,' or 'When I was in we did this and that and it was brilliant.'

Enjoy the site, you'll find some illuminating characters on it, some of whom know a damn sight more than you do and are ever so slightly more stylish about it too.

 

[Fang_Farrier]

I recall the merger rumour being told a as gospel truth back in 1986!

And 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, etc

Do you get hint or do I need to go on.

Touchy aren't we? Insults are the stock in trade of people who don't like other views.
I've only just joined the site & simply didn't realise how old the thread was, but we all learn by error & correction.

The rumour does tend to re-surface every couple of years, but with the current Government, anything is possible.

Theres alot of Tri Service speculation and rumour in the AMS at the moment. I think many options are up for discussion but recent successes in the state of Army Fitness do mean that the RADC is now in a better place to justify it's existence.

Were already effectively a tri service organisation and even if we were merged as the RAMC Medical branch or something similar, we'd still have a functional tri- service Dental HQ.

RADC Dentists and Dental Nurses are posted in Medical Regiments and Fd Hospitals now................feels lie the eighties again!
