see that bomb the typhoon is dropping!!! ive been playing with them as a RAF armourer for the last 11 years and i love my job.

MTT i know quite a lot of officers with a carefree attitude and a lot use the forces to get even more qualifications, who wouldnt!!!

i would steer clear of the army as someone else has rightly said , you have a bit of life experince and wouldnt appreciate getting pissed about by some jumped up pongo!!!

i would seriously advise you to go down to the afco and see what they say.

good luck and if i can give you any more info please feel free to email me on stevierenton@hotmail.com

cheers

steve

p.s sooty and jim were you based at stafford then with tiswas as i spen 2.5 years down on 5 site beofre getting posted to cyprus!!

nope not me stumpy m4 ive been in cyprus for the last 3 years!!

yep theres not much in droitwich itself but its not a far drive up to the wyre or the lickeys!!!

some of the RAF Herc captains are nutters by the way , i was out in Iraq one year not so long ago and there was a Herc coming into Basra , the thing was soooooo low in the desert he had to pull up over the perimeter fence which could of been 15-20ft high max!!!!!

you want to stand in front of some these big buggers and try marshalling them, tis quite interesting .

fun though

ive Marshalled them onto a slot at akrotiri for the frog air force!!

bikemonkey is that a c160 then!

yep tsr2 at cosford still!!!

im going to do it later when i get home!!

i dont give a **** really as ive got kids too and i dont want them getting run over

im not a fanny mind!!!

he was a bit angry looking though….(hides behind keyboard)

the stuff thats fitted at the moment is ok but a little old looking ! i have a few draughts from some windows but this is down to the sealant shrinking and perishing , im sure this could be replaced .

i got a new power adaptor and lead for my toshy laptop from the “affordable laptop company ” on ebay

not again!!!

yep twas follow the doggy i was on about!! which bits are closed then??

when i leave the air force i get a bif lump sum and a pension (starting at 43) so this was the mechanism to pay it off but, i would really like to switch to a repayment mortgage and pay some of it off .

we paid 128000(the chap needed a quick sale so we got it cheap as it need work doing, houses on same road were 150 at the time) for the house 2 years back, got a mortgage for 124000 and have completely renovated it.

current value is between 135 and 140 so will this be took into account when remortgaging??

im going to check when i get home but im sure that when the fixed rate ends it will still be interest only.??

cheers for the advice digimap.
i am aware of the differences between interest only and repayment.

we took a 2 year fixed interest only mortagae to start with as my wife isnt working and it dropped the payments at the time.

now ive been looking around and probably get a good deal paying roughly what i pay now but also as a repayment mortage and also shorten the term.

im just not sure of taking the gamble between fixed or variable due to the state of the economy??

yep would like t go on to a repayment mortgage and pay what i am now which would reduce my mortgage by 10years!!

my job is secure for the next 11 years!! (RAF) so im ok that way .

our current mortgage is intrest only so when the fixed rate ends does it revert to a repayment or not??( should i be looking for the paperwork!!)

not sure to be honest without looking at paperwork?? should it drop down then??

ton like you i can ride my bike all day at a steady pace but ask me to do some sprinting and im **** very quickly!!!

cheers for the nice words ton!!!
