Have you ever considered the possibility that your comments may not be taken with the humour you intended?
I don't want to pick a barney with you mate, I just feel your comments are sometimes a little nonconstructive. And being that I myself, and many others I imagine, have worked hard during the application process, I don't appreciate the insinuation that it has been easy.
I didn't just wake up one day and decide that I wanted to join the Navy, I've wanted this since I was a kid when my grandfather would tell me of his time in the Andrew.
So I mean you no disrespect, you have already achieved what I aspire to be, and thats probably the general consensus amongst the newbies. It's just disappointing to see an old salt being so down on the new recruits, when the majority hold people in your position in such high esteem.
Anyway thats my two pennies worth.

ever heard of if you can't take a joke you should'nt have joined or even that's life in a blue suit

That is different for someone who has never served and intends to. The point being that the newbies is a light n low section, for introductions and first off questions. This site was generated for the RN/RM, the main basis is to help and satisify unanswered questions that the AFCO may not answer.
Now if hig has a problem (which he generally does), he shouldn't moan how things are being done then be one of the reasons newbies don't feel happy on this site. There are a few others who have had their hands slapped, just a bit of common sense, you served, yep, you've been out for years, yep, it's not hard to understand that a 16yr old just out of school may not understand jack's humour.
As the saying goes;
Switch on lofty!
The site has a lot of serving members listed, therefore there are times that they HAVE to go to see, deployed, be on duty or even want to take sme holiday. Having a life means that you are not glued to the t'net 24hrs a day.
Now, I suggest the moaning stops, because, I for one, am sick and tired of fcukwits thinking because they've been on this site longer than others, they have very god given right to sit on that fence.
I'm off to have a long sh*t, laters!
