You might see it that way, but I've completed my return of service, hence I've paid back my training with my time. That's a bit like saying you can't leave a company when your training bond is paid off because you haven't 'given back' yet.
I hear what you're saying, but my experience of the RAF has been rather different. It's a big organisation, with ephemeral leadership, and I've seen enough good people be messed about to think 'yeah, I don't want to be in that position'.
