Re: RFA crew shortage as well as a Rear Admiral shortage....
Canada's Navy is in a worse state, and it still recruits directly, so Crapita on its own is not the major part of the problem (although it isn't achieving anything at great expense). https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-canadas-navy-doesnt-just-have-a-recruitment-crisis-it-also-has-a/ I d...

Re: RFA crew shortage as well as a Rear Admiral shortage....
My classic was having the Weapons (including nuclear) Employment Course, NBC Instructor, and a Physics degree, and I'd done some work at Harwell, but still having to do the one day school radiation source supervisor course. Utter waste of everyone's time. But that's box-ticking (or not) for you! ..a...

Re: FedEX B763 No Nose Gear Landing in Istanbul
Now over to our reporter in Senegal, Anna Nutherwun.
Looks like an aborted takeoff and overrun. No deaths, 11 injuries, 4 serious including one pilot.

Re: What Song Is Your Current Soundtrack?
He's wearing harem pants for a reason.... I recall a pleasant summer afternoon with 22 Sqn in a Wessex out of Chivenor. I spent the first half being Duty Victim, sprawling myself halfway down or at the bottom of cliffs for the boys to do their stuff. They knew where all the girls sunbathed topless, ...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
What comes next in Chechnya will be the same as the rest of the Third World. Kadyrov's trying to line his sons up for the leadership, but he likely won't last long enough, so he will look for putin to control the actual leader till they are old enough. However, one dark night, his sons will all fall...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Dunno what to make of this.
Kadyrov is quite possibly on some drug or other.
I don't see how the Russians have the forces to take Kharkiv, and Odesa is right out.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Concrete and steel don't burn, fuel trains and ammo trucks do. I note that whenever there's an air alert anywhere in Crimea, they shut the Bridge. The Ukrainians didn't damage the bridge directly last time, but blew up a truck whilst a fuel train was passing. I shouldn't think the Russians have conf...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
putin's spooked, then, with all that BS rhetoric. But as Ukrainian Intelligence said in response: "So far, we don’t see anything new, except for the disinformation effect and statements. Nuclear blackmail is a common practice of the Putin regime. There is no epoch-making news here." Speaking of dron...

His performances as King Theoden of the Rohorrim in The Lord of the Rings were excellent.
