Yeh, R3
You get nought apart from a "we've gotcha" parade for some.
There are so many people, who leave the Force with nothing to show that they have have served, that I really believe that something other than a badge should be issued. i.e a medal of service recognition.
(incidentally, I have campaign medals etc, just thinking about the guys that get nothing).
Example, compare the medals of a techie at Brize or Lyneham to the medals of a techie on Tonkas. Everyone has contributed to the greater effort but only the guys n gals who have been in theatre have something to show for it. Yet the GnG at the aforementioned stations put in a lot of effort and get nothing.
Its about time that people on short engagements, both airmen and officers alike have their service recognised. I am not talking about giving medals away to the people who haven't served in theatre, just a medal to recognise their contribution.
