We may have been quiet for a while but we’ve certainly been busy supporting @royalnavy and @NATO_MARCOM ships over the past two months!

Want a sneak peek at what we’ve been up to?

Roll the film! 🎥🍿▶️

What a truly #awesome career and what a hugely fitting way to mark it. BZ to CPO Etwell and the family and friends who have supported him throughout his career. #Thankyou for your Service #ACelebrationofDuty

@NavyLookout @smrmoorhouse The RFA forward deployed ships for decades before the rest of the RN did. Amazing how it became ‘novel’ when other parts of the RN started!

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@pinstripedline Nice to see the RFA getting recognition in their own right not just under the RN banner, thoroughly under-recognised Service within the Service.

[Sir Humphrey @pinstripedline]

The Royal Navy is deploying 2 RFA's to the Middle East.
Pinstripedline blog on why these are the best ships for the job against the backdrop of the ongoing global success of a Navy with 2 Strike Carriers (with jets) at sea and multiple other deployments.

@RFATidesurge @LadyW_Joanna @RFAHeadquarters @CdreDavidEagles @womenindefence @navy_women Congratulations Bosun, amazing achievement

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@matt_bromage @GillAJones Thank you!

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@matt_bromage @GillAJones Not in particular, just the RFAs in general. I’m sure there’s some space on my shelves somewhere!

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@matt_bromage @GillAJones Where did you get the model ships?! Jealous!

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@matt_bromage @GillAJones Where did you get those models from?! Asking for a friend…😬

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@ForcesReviewUK @CaptObvious85 @JohnTeammanley @RoyalNavy @RoyalMarines It doesn’t need changing, RFA awards are included on the military list and converted at the point of issue. We just get ignored…a lot.

[James Wright @jameswright310]

@thinkdefence Da-vit. However all the (very) old bosuns I sailed with early in my career pronounced it day-vit.

@SkySportsGolf my walk on song would have to be ‘Lay Up’ by Future! #ZurichClassic

For any Deck Officer the first time they “take the ship” is a big moment in their career. Third Officer Sam Marsh has today reached that milestone after three years of training 😁😁😁😁 @RfaNostalgia @RFAHeadquarters
