nickname muppets
why ?
as in all walks of life there are idiots and stars unfortunately for movers when somebody makes a cock up it tends to be public and everybody knows about it
Yes a mover.
Yes we have an unfortunate nickname.
And yes people only hear about things that go wrong.
People hear about the 100 bags a year we send to the wrong place, or sometimes get damaged, but not about the 300,000 odd people whose flight went right and had no problems and got to Afghan with no worries and all the equipment, mail, weapons, ammo that we get out there to re supply the front line bases. And yes sometimes aircraft get a delay and the cry of “f****** movers” is always the first but I would rather delay an aircraft an hour or so and get people onboad ( who are normally officers running late saying “dont you know who I am? I can turn up 30 min before departure” Dick) and get the aircraft away safely. And the one nobody hears about is when the techie, who should have the aircraft ready 4 hours before so it can be loaded, don’t have it tech ready till 40 min before and then blame the movers, again dicks.
But hay wide shoulders.
