I am amazed at the number of posters here that don't seem to have a clue about todays RAF manning and who and what people are doing in BAS Many must surely be either not in the RAF, never been to BAS or just sit around on their fat ar$es all day without a clue what the coalface are up to (i.e. their Airships!).

As has been said, the RAF Regiment ARE in theatre, with an area of several thousand square miles to patrol securing the perimeter and the countryside around the airfield - and they do a bloody good job too!! The internal guardforce is made up from those deployed there to do other primary tasks. Taking someone away from their primary task increases the workload on those left to carry out that task. Getting more people out there to do the extra duties that are needed - who? This bunch of Muppetts that call themselves our Government have cut the forces to the bare bone, with more reductions still to take effect! We are stretched already and it will only get worse when all the announced reduncies are made
