GDT, that went out with puttees, but I get your sentiment.
During Covid, the Armed Forces realised that sometimes working from home has been beneficial. Less getting bothered by rubbish on camp, fewer distractions and, I suppose, a lot of savings.
Don’t worry though, mission planning and flying is still a priority. There are still somethings you can’t do from home. MOD 1,2,3 (GDT) being an example.
I do worry though about the inequality of having some people in the RAF having to do mandatory fitness tests and being possibly discharged due to failing, whilst others in the RAF get a free pass.
For those of you in the old guard who have gone apoplectic with rage against any new (insert subject) this IT not PT is not a thing….yet.
