I obviously can’t guarantee anything. However, as long as we have FL FJs we will need a training system. And as long as we need a training system we will need QFIs. And until hell freezes over, FJ training will be at Valley.

There is never a stampede of volunteers making their way to Valley. One volunteer is better than ten pressed men, so they say. As one of the rare few who like the place it’s a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I should also add that it’s a buyers market right now. Individuals have far better bargaining power than they have ever enjoyed previously. The RAF have actually wisened up to that and I am seeing a far more pragmatic approach from Manning than I have ever seen before.

Remember, as always, this is just from my narrow, FJ centric view. I will not pretend to know anything about other branches.
