What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
At the Cosford Air Show 2024, the BFBS team caught up with our Regional Employer Engagement Director, Phil Sinclair.
They chatted to Phil to find out about his role and the Armed Forces Covenant, and why it is important for employers to support employees who are part of the Armed Forces community. He also explains how employers can benefit from incorporating and encouraging the skills and qualities Reservists and service personnel can bring into the civilian workplace.

Massed Bands at West Midlands Platinum Jubilee Event
This popped up on my feed presumably because i googled the armed forces covenant. It exists, but I question its value, as the reason I was researching it is because my daughter is in the forces and regularly moving around due to training. She called her car insurer to changes address.....£57 for an address change. That's Admiral, and they are signed up to the covenant, so I question its value
What is it? It's where Employers, Councils and Government et al can give each other a reach around and a slap on the back, whilst posturing and looking as though they are doing something substantive.
The AFC is Not worth the paper it is written on.. A flawed document in every sense.
Fighting for what ? Look around
I was living in damp and mould conditions years ago, I got my local MP involved who then got in touch with the armed forces minister. I had a letter back saying that the Covenant did not exist. So I wonder whom is lying here? I cannot even get help from the local housing association that I am with and even though Doctors say that they will put us first. I have been in line for the Doctors, and two immigrants in front of me, both of which were offered an appointment within a week, one said I need urgent sick note, come back the same night. I thought that I would be given his appointment for a week's time, oh no I had to wait a month.
First encounter with RMP: I passed out from Infantry depot Lichfield in 1979. Waiting to join my battalion in Derry for my first Banner tour, I was stuck on rear party until I turned 18 (you couldn’t go to Northern Ireland until you were 18). One night I was drinking in the NAAFI with a pleasant older lad, I’ll call him Bill. We shared a beer and as a sprog it was really cool to chat with an experienced soldier. I can’t remember why Bill was not on tour with the battalion. He said goodnight, strolled over from the NAAFI to B Coy lines (my Company). Very few soldiers there obviously, just rear party blokes. Bill, who wasn’t obviously drunk, grabbed a pick-helf (pickaxe handle), entered a lad’s room. The lad was fast asleep and on his own. I didn’t know him but think he was an assault pioneer temporarily accommodated in B Coy lines. Bill smashed his skull in whilst he slept. He died almost instantly. Then Bill set off looking for more victims Oblivious to this (I must have left the NAAFI 30mins later), I entered B Coy lines by the same entrance, noticed RMPs in the corridor with the strip-Lights on. The guard had been despatched to check all Coy lines. The bedroom door was open and I saw congealed blood and brain stuck to the polystyrene ceiling. I had no idea what was going on. Another badly injured sleeping soldier was found but survived. When it became clear who the murderer was I told the RMP that I was a witness. Without even taking a statement the investigation team waited until I was in Derry before calling me back for an aggressive interview. In that time we lost a bloke in Derry during a dreadful incident in which an innocent civvy was killed. It gave a me an entrenched dislike for RMP. The RMP had its work to do but often doesn’t endear itself to soldiers in combat situations. I’m sure they’re far more professional today. PS. This happened in BAOR.
Nice breeches
Stop monkeying about
PTIs are still choosing vests a size too small I see 😆
Best wishes to my Northern Monkey brothers (and sisters), miss you guys.
Good stuff Sir, Well done and thank you for all your work.
Those filthy nails in the thumbnail .
What a fantastic news story and obviously a top bloke. Well done mate!
A top bloke indeed.
I'm a Brit living in Germany. Nothing like this in Germany. Wonderful person full of example and enthusiasm, taking care and leading young people. To me you belong to the elite of the UK, in the sense of being best-educated, and best-trained people. Stemming from the Latin "eligere", to select or to sort out. You habe been selected because you made the correct choices in your life.
There is a reason why there are no army cadets in Germany….. The Hitler Youth tainted certain youth organisations there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mainly arrest drunken soldiers and other military idiots, my best golf partner was a WO2 (Quartermaster) in the RMP a 6'9 giant of a guy, known by many he served for 25 years played Rugby for the RMPs for 18 years. God Bless Mick.
Hey hey were the monkeys

For training purposes! 😁

Bloody brilliant band
Darin and I were wondering if they also act as opportunities looking for someone to train like pj paramedics
Written about the US Army Military Police. Supporting The Three "I am the Infantry, follow me Not a foot soldier, we're much more you see We'll take the fight to the enemy I am the Infantry, first of THE THREE." "I am the Cavalry, follow me A modern day horse soldier in an APC Charging straight forward to the enemy I am the Cav, most daring of THE THREE." "I am the Armor, follow me The arm of decision I'll always be When the going gets rough, call on me I am Armor, the best of THE THREE." "Armor, Cav and Infantry Rush headlong into the melee Breaking the lines like an angry sea Deep into enemy territory." "Approaching a crossroads, what do we see The area secured by two lonely MPs Directing us forward, how can this be How long has he been here waiting for me?" "What a crazy person an MP must be He has no firepower or armor like me And I thought everyone followed THE THREE." "Armor, Cav and Infantry I am the MP, don't follow me You don't want to be where I will be Guarding a crossroad, waiting for THE THREE Just my partner, a sixteen, a sixty and me." "With the objective taken, wait and see No one will remember the lonely MP Who held this ground so they could run free But that's my job, supporting THE THREE!"
Blesss 🤗🎇🇱🇻🌟
I highly recommend a series of autobiographical books written by ex civpol and ex rmp cop Wally Payne. First book is called A Monkey's Tale. Having fallen foul of the chief con in a provincial police force in the 1960s, he then joined RMP where he went from one dodge to another, ending up as an LE officer. Very funny read.
Muzzled cowards in uniform (NOT CANADIANS)
Marshall the horses for one and done
The berets are a disgrace…
I was a police officer with the BTP, I wanted to join the TA RMP but they wouldn’t let me. I tried twice, once in the 1980s and once in the 1990s. The BTP were very hostile towards us joining the TA which I feel was a pity..

Great bit of Slug Balancing at 1: 45. Well done that man thought I was back in 1977. Go Watchdogs.
How can police fight in a war he or she would be arresting soilders for killing people
Military police around the world perform various tasks, and none of are for killing the enemy during open combat. Not a comprehensive list but here’s some of the tasks. Guard POW’s. Find, apprehend and return deserters. Protect key crossroads or other strategic places. Protect facilities in vulnerable areas from counter attacks, espionage, and insurgent forces. Conduct investigations into criminal activity committed by allied forces. Guard allied troops found to have committed crimes. Guard key leadership. Route reconnaissance and security. So much more.
Why?
no, in the British Army that happens 20 - 40 years later, once you are an OAP.
"Hey hey we're the monkeys"!
Good work. I’m ex TARMP in the 90s and so much has changed and so much more opportunity
You allow NCOs to mince around with their hands in pockets? Not in my day!🙈
They do allow hand in pockets but they don't allow phrases like 'mince around'. Times have changed fella
@@JammyDodger45 uh they don’t allow hands in pockets
@@lachlanchester8142 - really? Feel free to link me into the QR which makes hands in pockets 'illegal'.
@@JammyDodger45 well nobody said it was illegal don’t know where you got that from, it is against the rules though
@@lachlanchester8142 - link me to the 'rule' then (although Queens Regulations are the definitive rule book).
Congratulations Tommo. Great stuff.
