Forum Ranks and a bit of respect

[iangrant]

I think it's about time we had some form of order on this forum.

Old scroat called me a pie muncher - jimi - well..

So - I'd like to start this off with my own position - that of Admiral.

other posters may apply for positions that will be vetted and agreed by the senior members of the forum.

look forward to your applications

Ian

I'm sorted - Ships Cat, just please don't kick the cat.

John

 

[tcm]

dang, i was going to apply for that. I think i will apply for the position of the VHF-Call-Ignorer at the marina.

 

[Fr J Hackett]

On the basis that I am quite prepared to take others to war, declare war unilaterally all in the name of others and whats more get others to do the dirty work for me whilst happily taking any ensuing plaudits and dodging any resulting excriment that may hit the fan as the result of such actions. I claim the office of 1st. Sea Lord.

 

[zefender]

Application One - First Sea Lord - nobody has put a bid in so I might as well reluctantly allow my name to go forward

Application Two - C16 radio checker.

I have experience of neither role but I can of course offer dizzying enthusiasm and commitment. Will I get luncheon vouchers?

 

[zefender]

Bugger! OK, I'll go for the radio checker then....

 

[Oen]

I'll have a go at 'Political Commissar', just like Aeroflot used to have in the good old days!

 

[Guest]

I volunteer for to be the chief Stoker for boilers.

I need the exercise, and it seems we have quite a few old boilers around that get up steam quickly.

 

[copterdoctor]

Bugger!!?? Shouldn't you be going for Rear Admiral?

 

[zefender]

Nah, although a PC is much needed, it's a lost cause. How abuot 'Seacheck liaison Officer'? Plenty of potential I'd have thought.

 

[tome]

Commodore Tome, that's me.

Or else bilge diver. Once met a taxi driver who was a bilge diver on the Queen Mary, respect!

 

[Evadne]

I'd like to apply for the position of wimp (MAB division). I never go sailing if it's blowing a hooligan, and have custody of all the official excuses. SWMBO wants to be an official tree hugger on account of its well known ability to cure maldemer.

 

[sarabande]

Assuming that your ship is going to have a mast on it somewhere, can I be Lookout in the Crow's Nest, please ?

(That's on the basis I already spend a lot of time shouting Iceberg, or Breakers Ahead, whilst the crew play Squabble and Monotony in the messes)

Re: Proposed Ranks -

Chief Petting Officer?

 

[Oen]

Nice one!

I've just spoken to the RNLI chap who posted, and I shall let the forum know how it goes from here...

 

[Fr J Hackett]

With respect I refer you to a post I made earlier M'Laud (aspiring) but I may have need of deputy for the decleration of war on minor nations and other irksome tasks, if you are interested and wiuld also be prepared to issue letters of mark for any would be privateers.

Re: Proposed Ranks -

With the cross dressing one around I don't think I would like to be the cabin boy (well, on weekends anyway).

John

 

[zefender]

I was hoping to be upper echelons but it looks like I'll have to start at the bottom then

 

[iangrant]

I\'ve spoken to Our Hosts at IPC

They have agreed to pay the kings' shilling, they'll host the first ward room bash and issue white ensigns to the higher ranks, each white, defaced with the PBO logo.
