I have no ties to the UK and have only been back a few times in the last seventeen years when I have been paid to go.
Ref flying I leave that to the youngsters these days and am very much in the capability delivery area which has both the P-8A and C-130J coming along soon. In less than two years I will make it to 50 years in uniform which will be my cue to retire
How's life in New England?
Hi SW.
Long time no hear. Hope all is well with you and yours. Why am I not surprised that you are still in uniform!
Can you pm me please as I want to check that you have checked all the pension rules
