And come 22nd of November the date will slide again particulary when they truly discover how many will not be bullied and walk.

Is there any chance these people could set an actual hard date for this - I need to prepare my flounce.

Well I guess this is to give a âreasonableâ time between the suspension and SNLR letters
The original date was 12 days ago, why the slippage. You just need a standard letter to have been dispatched on the 2nd.
Surely you need a formal letter to each non-signer and a chance to sign? Only Bader accounts got the email, what if no one told them?
The problem is these came out late last year with an end of May cut off. It was left over the summer holiday period and once that was out of the way a new cut off, now ir would appear with the busy Remembrance period approaching, another cut off date, which will clash with the festive period, so you can see another one looming.
However as said the letters are little more rhan the sort of thing that comes out from HMRC, DVLA, NHS, Councils etc etc, where someone hits the button, fields filled, letter printed, folded, stuffed into an envelope, franked and sent on its way. IF they had to be done by hand with someone using a pen and licking a stamp, you could sort of understand it, but not really.
I wonder if I could not tax my car and when stopped theyâd say do it by this date, which I donât and then get another date etc.
So all this âYou must sign this by the 1st October or youâll be confined to unitâ and âIf you donât sign it by the 15th youâll be sackedâ was nonsense!
HQAC canât even bully properly!!

Just as well as theyâd have to investigate themselves and God knows how that would end up.
Mobuis ring perhaps.

One of the words that crops up in this document is âsuperiorâ.
Who on earth are these people in HQAC to say they are superior, when they arenât even senior to any of us civilians.
I do hope they donât think they are superior to me or better than me, as they would be in for a surprise.
It seems a very antiquated term and something you could imagine the local lord or laird thinking of themselves in relation to the peasants.

And I am certain you are perfectly aware of how it is used in this context, having a couple of related meanings as it does.
To quote from Down Periscope:
Rear Admiral Yancy Graham : [over radio] I expect you to abide by the rules of this War Game.
Lt. Comd. Dodge : Since when did the rules ever matter to you, Sir?
Rear Admiral Yancy Graham : You watch yourself, Dodge! You are addressing a superior officer.
Lt. Comd. Dodge : No⌠Merely a higher ranking one! CATCH US IF YOU CAN!

The intimation is they know better than us because theyâve managed to ascend the RAF greasy pole by whichever means and then to avoid collecting trolleys in a supermarket or advising on screws and kitchens in B&Q come into the ATC, when in fact if anything we know better than them about the ATC.

FTRS pays far better than counting screws or collecting trollies at a supermarket.

Great. Good from you.
I have a mate in the ACF and they have all had to sign it a year ago. He said it had come from MOD centre and all CFAVs in all cadet forces had to sign it.
If thatâs true (which it very well may be) then why canât HQACRAFACACACAC implement the directive from their superiors?
