For your information
many people in the RAF who " just sit in their office 8-5 and collect the money
wish to be out on sqns and amongst the real RAF, RN and Army, but as the many who are out there do not wish to rotate through staff jobs (because they may have houses localy etc and dont want the move "The comfort zone!"), we retain the constant PMA trawls to fill posts. Additionaly those that get sent here can rarely find a post to get back to
I suggest you wake up and volunteer for a staff tour (branch and rank permitted) and see what actually goes on. Nights away from home on a weekly basis in places as exotic as Bristol or in our wonderfull Messes
coupled with 10 hr+ days in support of the "Hard" working front line.
I do not deny that you may work long hours and go on OOAs (we are not exempt OOA and Fresco stuff etc) but please only rant when perhaps in a position to do so.
