No need to apologise about posting here. Your thoughts on this subject are most welcome.
I fear the current feelings of your husband are repeated in many homes across the station.
If you find many of your friends are saying similar things, it might be worth trying to get your points across to the senior management on station if you get an opportunity - Hive, mess function, etc.
It is sad, but sometimes it is much easier for the wives to speak to the higher echelons, as they feel no rank structure.
Just so you know, the aircrew on station are dead against this as well. None of the senior line pilots I know were consulted at all, and most of us only found out about it at the 11th hour on the rumor mill.
I agree totally about the lack of Sqn identity. The only good thing to have come out of OP TELIC is the techie mates I have made whilst on det. The togetherness out there shows how it can be done.
I shall watch out for any more posts from you. It makes a pleasant change from some of the vindictive drivel we see on here.
