    Probably invoking the next obligatory excuse of needing “crew rest”

    Back when I was sailing the high seas enjoying rum, sodomy and the lash, whenever we tried to get the birdies to do any work for us they would claim that they were on a “crew rest period” and would therefore have to refrain from doing anything strenuous

    Never happened in the RAAF, we worked day and night in all kinds of weather at the drop of a hat

    I can only imagine that your flyboys were just like the rest of you seaweed suckers, drunk and silly :p

    Your boys ALWAYS got us RAAF guys banned from the Hawaii night clubs after you'd docked and caused havoc ...... bastards

    Not sure what life was like in uniform back in the 50s but the RAAFies are all soft cocks now

    The common excuse for them not turning up was that it was raining back at the RAAF Base

    The Army Pilots were a hard working bunch

    Fond memories of being choppered into a farmer field in East Timor back in 1999. A goat that was tethered to a stake in the paddock was pushed down so hard by the downdraft that his legs sank into the mud until his stomach was resting on the ground. The famers chickens were blown into the adjacent paddock

    The boys in green landed, we all got out and they farked off into the distance

    Queens silver jubilee in Canberra in '77, army navy air force getting ready for a full dress rehearsal in dress ones, navy looking very pretty in their 7 creases uniforms in the rain with the army turkeys while we RAAFies we sitting in the buses laughing at the stupidity of you lot ..... until the RSM came up to the buses and ORDERED the officers to get the men out and in the rain :(

    That took the smile off our faces ...... god the mud was soft and splattered our uniforms

    God you airline blokes are a bunch of poofs. :D

    The worst thing that’s ever happened to me is I had to spend more than one night away from home in a boring hotel room on my own away from my friends, family, my couch, my dogs, proper sport (cricket and footy) when I didn’t want to...

    Oh wait. That’s never happened....

    :p
