Prime Minister Sir, an honour and a pleasure to host you and your team onboard overnight and to support the 2023 JEF Summit in Visby.
HMS DIAMOND 💎 now looks forward to operating with JEF nations in the Baltic region over the coming weeks.

@RoyalNavy
Op PITTING did good stuff, all those involved deserve praise & thanks. However, let’s keep it about them, using “my” or “we” to try & bathe in reflected glory or jump on bandwagon is not on.
The course programme was paused for the day in order to allow all students to concentrate on
#OpTeamwork
A productive day with some positive action to follow.

Congratulations Admiral Radakin, sir 👏🏼⚓ Future CDS looking very smart indeed in our No.3 uniform. Long may this splendid rig continue 🙏

General Sir Patrick Sanders is the most capable and nicest Army Chief we have had in a very, very long time. I think the powers that be would be doing the country a great service if they managed to persuade him to stay and become
You can block me
@WO2ProudSapper
but I’ll still be tipped off about the snorkling. Selling out for an ice cream - most people do it for at least a B+ on SJAR.
CDS has done his HOTO. There’s no overt snorkling so far despite the new gaffer leaving you an open goal. Whilst I’m proud of everyone, stay vigilant, as someone, somewhere is bursting to “Sir” him & @ their own entire chain of command. Hold the line, we can do this.
A privilege to take up the reins today as Chief of the Defence Staff. The Government envisages a strong, secure & confident United Kingdom, actively engaged in the world.
My task is to lead the Armed Forces to deliver the Integrated Review and pursue our national interests.
After a few weeks off work it was an absolute pleasure to engage with the ICSC (LR) cohort - the question were brilliant - and I’ll follow up with the specifics that vexed me one to one. Thank you 🙏

#Honours2020
you can congratulate mates or tell ppl well done. But do not
#bumsnorkle
with “Well done Sir”, “Fantastic Ma’am”, “Honoured to be part of” or @-ing your 1 & 2 ROs. It is about the recipients, not your bumming up VSOs. I’m watching.
How to do social media as a unit CO 🤩
This not only helps recruitment but it makes people feel valued and increases public understanding of what the Navy does!
Thank you Sir 🫡
King’s Birthday Honours. It’s getting snorkly out there. Remember it’s about recipients, not you working on O/SJAR by gushing, giving it “Sir” or “Ma’am” and @-ing your entire chain of command 🤮
I mock serving pers or vets in Brit mil for bumsnorkling & cast net further if required. Some don’t realise they’re doing it, others do & keep on snorkling anyway. It’s amusing, but turning it into dogpile, questioning their service or personal insults is too far. Stop it please?
We're lucky to count two exceptional officers as our former COs. Sirs, best of luck in your new roles from your former steamer.
@MartinJConnell
@smrmoorhouse
I get *lots* of DMs & tagging pointing out
#bumsnorkling
. Mostly, the targets just ignore me or occasionally get involved in the bants. However some of the official accounts subordinate to the victims do block me. This is proxy snorkling & reinforces the guilt. 🤔
An anonymous tip off has shown that Instagram is a hotbed of utter snorkling. Even Urch himself must be gagging at this shameless effort. Tagging ROs, VSOs, the victim & using “Sir!” 🤢
Wind it in

Jesus, Mary, Joseph & the wee Astra donkey. A building-sized, real-world, über-snorkle of the Astra cult. How much did that cost & who will benefit from spending tax payers’ money on this kool aid guzzling monstrosity?
#NextGenRAF
I am still blocked by
@RAF_Regiment
& now I know why. Snorkling by @-ing the guy & using his post noms. On twitter. With no sense of irony or shame. Anyone with a shred of self awareness online is 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Neil, mate...?
Textbook start with “Fantastic to have...”, then solid @-ing by including a Bde, a Div & HQ ARRC. Your sneaking in a smoochy comment was classic stuff. If you could’ve got a “Sir” in there, it would’ve been perfect.
Fantastic to have the former commander of

so well and who will be the next Commander
@HQARRC
, to be our Colonel Commandant. Welcome to the Army Air Corps family, Nick.
General Sir Patrick Sanders is to be appointed the new Chief of the General Staff with effect from June 2022. Defence Secretary
@BWallaceMP
has congratulated Sir Patrick on his appointment.
See the announcement here:
This has been nominated. I am torn, no use of “Sir/Ma’am” nor any @-ing. However, given God’s omnipresence & him/her being all knowing, I can only assume his Holiness knew it would be read by his 1RO, so therefore & somewhat awkwardly, I declare him guilty.
Almighty God, our Creator, you love our human family, we, children of Abraham, ask you to welcome into your abode of peace and light all victims of violence and war.

Military VSOs: encouragment before match & whether congratulating or commiserating afterwards, remember you don’t normally follow football, so don’t be cheesy or make it all about you. Careful with trying to take any credit or selling your OJAR today & tomorrow. I’m watching.
STOP CALLING EACH OTHER SIR OR MA’AM ON TWITTER FFS
This is portal to world, half ppl are not who they say they are, it makes you look odd in front of civvies & snorkling lickspittle in front of your mates.
Not cool:
Yes
@GeneralMoobs
your tweet is great Sir, love
@DarthKnobstick
Just had a classic of the “you’re in the Navy? Do you know so and so?” genre!
No, I don’t think I do know Paul, oh hold on you mean Admiral Halton? Yes I do know who he is! 😂😂😂
@RAdmPVHaltonOBE
Sir, Ma’am, can I take this opportunity to thank you all for your selfless leadership, support & faith in me. Without clear talent like yours people like me wouldn’t be empowered by your clear abilities. Bravo & look forward to OJAR time. Proud to be associated with you all.
The
@RAF_Regiment
have blocked me but I can see why. Unbelievable levels of puckering up here by using post noms in a tweet ffs. Clever of you to tag the objects of your desire via the photo - subtle but gets that A- OJAR laminated.
Blatant, top level, civvy-on-military ‘snorkling. However
@piersmorgan
needs to massively up his game to get past well prepared queue of other professional ‘snorklers.
Can we just make General Sir Nick Carter interim Prime Minister to sort out this chaos? So reassuring to hear such firm, detailed no-nonsense military rhetoric. More please. 👇
Whichever party is elected as the next Government, I hope the new Minister of Defence will have the knowledge and wisdom to recognise that there is no better candidate to take over as the next Chief of the Defence Staff than the current Chief of the General Staff, General Sir
Obvious ‘snorkle censorship. Since we never followed each other, you were either having sneaky read because you love me, or your followers were reading it & twitter algorithms pinged you. Seems bit flouncey.
#MuteDontBlock
then ppl don’t notice.
⚠️WARNING⚠️
I am properly stalking this. It is not a “look at meeeee” thing. So:
1. Thanking troops, dull but fair enough.
2. Using it as OJAR excuse or @-ing ROs or VSO & I’ll be on you like shit on a blanket.
⚠️WARNING⚠️

are about recipients & not you. So congratulations are OK, but stop the gushing comments tangentially hinting you allowed it or were responsible in some way, writing letters, bathing in reflected glory & @-ing your line managers.
2200 followers for little me? Ma’am & Sir, I am honoured to be associated with you all, you are wonderful, talented, charming, handsome, witty, brilliant humans who deserve to do well in life.
@32Engr_RSM
@MilitaryBanter
Bit snorkly but admonished. Unlike the people now jumping on bandwagon & claiming “wow, our boys & girls are cold?”. They knew, yet spent years saying nothing as they were too busy snorkling & didn’t want to risk rocking the career boat.
Absolute top level
#bumsnorkle
. You use “ma’am” and @ someone who can influence OJAR. Classic stuff but then you go raise the bar by making a snorkly video. 👏 👏😐
Today is HRH The Princess Royal's Birthday. We thank her for her many years of service and congratulate her on her promotion to the rank of General.
Happy Birthday Ma'am!

That’s your new boss then? Dude, behave, you need to be more subtle. Plus his account will be getting overrun with snorkly “well done fella” stuff today. Send him an email or Skype him.

Right. Carers, key-workers, medical staff are good & hard working ppl in tough jobs who we all appreciate. But this pre-planned, pre-filmed, proxy bathing in reflected glory is near walting & whoever orders this non-spontaneous farce is ‘snorkling big time.
So when we talk about
@RAF_Space
and space as a war fighting domain, something similar is happening. Visionaries like

Congratulations to
@BWallaceMP
on his reappointment as Defence Secretary. I look forward to continuing to work with him and Prime Minister Liz Truss to keep our country safe, support Ukraine and modernise the British Armed Forces to become even more lethal and deployable.
Whenever you discuss the role and future of 16 Air Assault Brigade, and suggest changes, you are immediately met with resistance because, and this is a common theme…
It is one of the few formations in the British Army that actually work
Is that the limit of our ambition?
I know people are bored in quarantine, but be careful with NY Honours. Yes, there are some very deserving cases plus usual nepotism jobs, however, saying “well done dude” is not the same as overt snorkling or worse, taking advantage & trying to bathe in reflected glory. Behave.
Great to host CFA and

this morning - so that he can see that the AOSB (SSE) is going well and candidates are happy that we have a fair and transparent system.
C’mon, we know it’s OJAR time, but this is turbo-snorkling of CGS. Why are you repeatedly tagging him? Do you know how @-ing works, it’s not as if he doesn’t realise he gave a speech? Behave.

Today, we say a fond farewell to Assistant Naval Attaché Derek Powles, who returns to the 🇬🇧 on promotion to Captain 🫡.
Congrats on your promotion Sir – so well deserved. And from all of us at the Embassy – thank you. The UK/US maritime relationship is richer because of you.
“Ma’am” or “Sir” on Social Media is just unnecessary. What’s wrong with “Well done fella/hun/mate/dude/colleagues/you”. And blocking looks tad guilty.
@icapturemyworld
@KayBurley
Oh yes, you’ve broken the rules alright. By looking insanely young for 60. There should be immediate restrictions/punitive measures for this xx
@Cookie2148
This tweet has been nominated twice, plus once for a self snorkle. I judge that despite some serious @-ing it doesn’t fit the criteria, so not guilty. However a warning to the people replying, be careful, congratulate him but if you gush or “Sir” I’ll be all over you.
Her Maj called 3 Service Chiefs to say well done. RN followers mostly congratulated Admiral for standing up, Army memed General about his old phone but RAF @‘d the Queen, VSOs gushed in comments & it appears got every single official account to RT?
