You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

If you’re a CI, no. If you’re in uniform, it can be complicated…

Also, there’s a thread about this some where. Let’s keep this to being annoyed we only get 25p per mile! It is GMG after all :sweat_smile::grin:

Cadet: “Why didn’t I get promoted, I’ve been here longer than other cadets you did promote?”

Same Cadet: drops out of key Sqn event the day before with no explanation. :thinking:

Co-op getting rid of the coronation chicken sandwich. What am I going to do for my unhealthy meal deal now?

Nor me

Very intermittent access just now. I can get in for a few mins then it crashes then I can get in for a few mins and so on

Do they usually do this or is it a one off? Potentially could be a welfare issue (or maybe just a lazy Cadet :joy:)

It isn’t the withdrawing, it’s the lack of notification

Don’t see the problem, we all have things that come up and forget to tell people. Annoying but that’s about it.

Yes but we all know you’re a delight.

If you can log on to cadet portal and withdraw your name from something, an email takes 2 minutes more. It is good practice, professional, respectful, courteous and acknowledges the hard work that goes in to something. I wouldn’t expect you to know anything about the qualities I’ve listed though.

But if you don’t have the common courtesy to tell people you can’t expect them to promote you

and words

@pEp is right, “hi sir, so sorry but I can’t make it to xyz because of zyx. I’ll see you Tuesday!” takes less than a minute to write and otherwise it’s just rude

That does happen.

However only a dolt then turns around to the person they just let down and asks for a big favour.

Spend most of the program talking about how the contestants were as cadets/scouts etc. Doesn’t have to be true just over technical & nerdy.

E.g. Like she was really good at
drill, he was a bit lazy, that one was a police cadet, those two would be good together as she was a sea cadet & he was a Marine. You can tell by the way she walks she’s a tick-tocker etc

Soon switch off :wink:
