Air Command Dob 01-04-07

[I Look Like Kevin Costner]

While Today is the 89th birthday of the RAF, it is also seen the demise of Strike Command ( with PTC) and the formation of "Air Command"

While a name is only a name, with the retitle to sound like Land Command, is this change just another towards the horrible thought of the "Armed Forces of GB."

Comments please?

please dont be offended..but I actually couldnt give a fat rats crap what its called...they re name sh!t so blooming often, they might as well just us a bloody symbol and have done with it.

I personally reckon that the man who thinks of all names for new sections and operations etc is rubbing his hands with glee.

You got a point there PSFB they change the names of sections on a weekly basis all they have done is go from strike to air command, big deal give it a few years they will change it to something else

Next they will be putting the shoite Hawks back onto the No1 uniform oops too late. Back to the future we go. Lets put Royal Air Force Supprt Comand back on the sde of th VC 10 Fleet while we are on. Another IIP adventure, that's Invesment In Paperwork to the rest of up

Given the amount of money it cost to change the sign on Two Jags office door when he got the sideways move (Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to Deputy Prime Minister's Office at £645).

According to this

http://www.raf.mod.uk/structure/rafcommands.cfm

There are a minimum of 13 officers of air rank who will need new signs and all the paraphenalia.

Add to that all the paperwork which will need new headed paper, the front page of every Air Publication which will need modifying from the old to new, etc etc etc. And the cost is significant.

Money that could have been spent productively on dragging the sorry state of todays RAF some small way back to where it needs to be.

I am sure it will be spun by the asre lickers as necessary costs but it is another nail in the coffin. Yet again cost cutting at the lower levels where the work is done rather than at the top where the salary costs really lie.

Utterly sickening.
