Probably happens on most sqns. It’s certainly happened on mine a few times. It’s just where new cadets are getting used to the way we do things. It’s a big (and often daunting) learning curve for them; they can’t be expected to know everything from day one.
When they do it, a gentle chat from a cadet NCO usually guides them in the right direction.
Skill vs will
That’s alright, what I was talking about was new cadets saluting to take the mick, doing it silly or doing it navy/US style
GMG. Feeling so rough that you do a covid test… and it’s not covid, but some other plague like disease. Probably man-flu.
Please send help. And Lemsip.
this is my life.
I had the Flu about 3 weeks ago…killed me
Snap.
I’ve got it too, as have two others in the office. We’re back to Teams meetings to avoid spreading it!
The cleaner just broke my Cobra glass. I’ve had that since I was 17 and won a vindaloo contest against my house master. He had to steal a glass for me. Now I need to go and steal another pint glass. Or I could go proper old school and dig out the pewter tankards.
As a Regiment Officer once said to me before he helped me, err, ‘liberate’ a place mat from the table in the Officer’s Mess at RAF Honington: “Go on, nick it, it’s much more nails.”
8 months on. And this GMG has bitten me again.
We are re-tendering because of a change in staff member in the procurement team who disagreed with the specification document we put out. So we have the same pain all over.
When people complain about inefficiencies in local government, they are right. This is absolute madness!!!
We’re now paying over the odds to sustain the existing contract (which they’ve whacked a healthy 10% increase on!!!) PLUS all that time earlier in the year was wasted. PLUS the economic instability and change in interest rates is all leading to the contract costing MORE now than it would’ve if we’d have closed it in April 2022 as agreed back in February. The price difference across the contracts is the equivalent of one FTE.
I am livid.
GMG/MML - i love christmas. As in, i really like Christmas.
But the house opposite has Christmas lights up already…
Bit early even for me…
HQAC doing an announcement that links to a document that 95% of us can’t see as it’s on the MODGOV Sharepoint site. 
Ahhhhhhh efficiency.

GMG…had Covid Vax No 4 this morning, its hit me like a ton of bricks and feel sooo rough
GMG…
Washed my smock today. Clearly didn’t do a good enough job of checking the pockets first.
Now I need to work out what paper is integrated into my gloves
Are you my WExO? Because this would explain where all the paperwork ends up 
Latest draft of ASTRA?
GMG.
The spider that ran out as I moved some clothes for the washing…
Dropped a book on it… And it still got up and ran…
Spider has now been subjected to repeated heavy concussive strokes, and has become an IKEA Spider… (Flat-packed!!)
