They all add up to squandered monies, why change a badge and rank when there was no need, how much did that cost with a new paperwork trail, new uniforms the same, more cost, aviator from airman / airwoman, again means everything relating to the previous ranks needs to be amended etc.... all of it is just a waste of money, money that could have been better spent on ensuring accomodation and housing is sorted.
Accomodation sold off 27 years ago to mates. MQs that is. Have you actually been in SLAM accomodation in the last 20 years? Just asking? Pay as you stave was a joke as well. But it was all cut the wage and pension bill. Oh, a core menu that was dire.
