(NYHL=New Years Honours List.. OPA Operational Awards)
You know what I am talking about. I am quite sure that if the boys and girls of the RFA were told where they were going wrong they would sort it out.
But, if nobody puts names and citations forward there is no chance of recognition and who is supposed to do that and are they doing it and if not WHY?
Also who approves RFA Honours? I have submitted 5 over the years, 4 whilst in the service and 1 since I retired, all were rejected.
Crossed the Bar in Service

Sadly I have two "in service" deaths to report today, I have few details at the moment but as the situation becomes clear I will make my normal reports. So, and Chronologically:-
CPO(E) Kevin Stephenson RFA crossed the bar on the 20th Dec 2020 from a Covid-19 related illness. Our thoughts and prayers go to Geraldine and family at this very sad time.
Captain Robert (Rob) George Anders RFA crossed the bar on 22 Dec 2020 aged 49. Our thoughts and prayers go to his widow, Phillipa, children Eleanor (Nell) and William (Will) and all the family at this very sad time.
Neither Kevin or Rob were members of our Association but they were, of course part of the RFA family.
If you have any remembrances of Kevin or Rob please email it to me at captain.pat@rfa-association.org.uk and I will post them on this page. Alternatively you can post to our facebook page "RFA Crossed the Bar". I am also looking for photographs of Kevin and Rob for this piece and the RFA Association Gallery and Archive, if you have one please email it to me.

This is what Gunline and Force 4 have evolved into. It is sent by email to all serving personnel and is aimed at them, but it gives Association members an insight into how the service is run now and how things have evolved since most of us have retired. The RFAA will have a page in the next edition.
