Well thats a week and a half done now, its going PDQ thankfully. The new boss pitched up 2 days ago and is already making his mark. He is a stickler for neatness (he has OCD.... Not pretend, ACTUAL OCD) he asked us to tidy the crewroom after he has tidied it already, we all looked at each other thinking it was a joke........ No, it wasnt a wind up. He asked us to tidy everything and walked out.
So what did we do? Well we got up, then, well done nothing. We tried to see what needed tidied, but to no avail so we moved the chairs around and sat down again. That seemed to please him even although NOTHING changed. Its funny how many bosses I have had that just cannot see how much of an effect they have on morale with their "things". I have been away 9 times now and have seen so many bosses with "a great idea" which funnily enough has been done before and is proven to be silly/non-practical/pointless/morale sapping/good for THEIR career but has no real effect on anything in a positive way.
I have a feeling that this will be the same I hope im wrong as I had a horrendous time last year with a boss who acted like a 5 year old child and would not listen to ANY advice from anybody despite having years more experience than himself. I had the form on the forces admin website to leave the forces up filled in due to him! I really want to enjoy the forces but i dont anymore, there are too many people out just to further their own careers and will shit on everybody to get as high as they can on the ladder.
Oh another thing that annoys me, doing things because thats the way it has always been done! We are doing things just now that make no sense, but because the last guys done it that way we are doing it!!! Some of the things are so half arsed it makes no sense and is in fact dangerous because if gives you a false sense of security!!! Surely its all or nothing!
Im missing being home as well, cant wait to get back home and see everyone again. First thing when i get back is a beer, haircut and some randomness. It doesnt have to be in that order though, lol.
Oh im not having my hair cut until i get home, it could be a bit random by the time i get home, lol.
Anyway thats enough of a rant, I'm off for a shower and bed.

Great blog Stan. Once I figure out how to get onto the page I'll leave a message.
Its a great way of keeping track for you and Lynda, and for Dave to let off a bit of steam now and again.
Can't believe he's done 9 tours in such a short time.
Sounds as though the mossies out there are a bit on the BIG side!
Love to you and Lynda,
bring the boys home safe and sound.
what a great read thanks for sharing your life with us,
What a fantastic job you are all doing.
Stay safe
