Now, now Alf - don't bite like that!

I think T-R is making the point that this is, and has always been, a married man's Air Force. It is and there can be little arguement over that one.

The way things are panning out, it is everyone's Air Force EXCEPT the single guy. Not complaining about my lot (I can leave etc etc blah), but I do (sometimes) see single guys being shafted over and above others.
We have to support all our people and that does mean giving preferrential treatment at times. That is not the issue, and as a single guy I joined for travel, excitement etc (I believed the recruiters). It is hard to manage a section where 90% of the females on it are getting special treatment. When equal treatment is not given it can be devisive and cause resemtment.
Remember - what you see very much depends upon where you are standing.

Off to lie low now.
