1. A pocket size multi tool
2. Multiple pocket size multi tools
8. A Clipboard
22. Used the NATO phonetic alphabet in every day conversation
24. Worn high visibility jacket that you bought/didn't give back to an employer
29. Remained sober at Christmas/New Year voluntarily in case someone you didn't know needed to get somewhere that wasn't with your family.
30. Used the word "deployed" when referring to visiting a different site with work.


st 23% Walt.

Although i will argue a couple of them.
29 & 30 are both Work related, if i'm not being paid i would never:
  • stay sober at xmas.
  • use the word deployed in a non ironic fashion.
Honest. wink

I'm hoping that I don't score too high on the Walt scale.
Multi-tool is a bottle opener/cork-screw used as a key-ring.
Land Rover is an old 90, so technically not a Defender (Walt points for specifying the difference?). It has no snorkel, winch, flashing lights, or special off-road tyres, but it does have two spare wheels and a bonnet mascot.
No clipboard, but I do tend to carry a small pocket diary for reminders and to write things down before I forget.
I do still have a high-vis jacket and trousers, not given back to my old employer, I don't use them and didn't wear them for work either if I could get away with it.
I have used the NATO phonetic alphabet, mainly for postcodes when on the phone, well as much of it as I can remember (Q is for quiche?)
I have never voluntarily remained sober at Christmas/New Year (or much of the rest of the year come to think of it)

I don't have/do any of the things on the list so it looks like I've failed as a Walt.

Yes, I used to keep one of those in my desk at work and passed it on to my assistant, along with the emergency chocolate supply when I retired.

I'm nominating you for Gold Commander of this thread.
I appreciate the nomination, but i cannot be responsible for a thread as important as this, and manage to keep on the ball in my assigned duties for the next 2 weeks.

Due to temporary European relocation of the (POSVMACS - Pos-Mac for radio communication) Primary Office Safety, Visitor Management and Access Control Supervisor i have been deployed in my full capability as (SOSVMACS - Sos-Mac)) Secondary Office Safety, Visitor Management and Access Control Supervisor, i am combining this with my CDDR (Current Daily Duty Roster) and will be unable to give the necessary attention to a Secondary, if also important Gold level role in this thread as there may confidentiality issues regarding sensitive info being observed in this location.

As there are non emergency responders in this thread i have a translation in mufti speak underneath so than can see the level of detail required to even consider a Bronze level position.

The receptionist is on holiday, cause it's really quiet i'm working on the reception desk so i shouldn't really be fking about on PH where people can see i'm not actually working. thumbup
