raf becoming army
Gents
I was a bit full on during my earlier post but make no apologies for my opinions.
However the point I am making is, whether you like it or not, we are in the military and therefore may have to carry out tasks outside of our trade. This includes guarding places, at home and abroad.
Exleckie.
Producer guards dont get tired, as their time on stag is included in the normal shift pattern, Guins on Regt Sqn's have done it for years, succesfully.
I agree with the post with ref to "exempt duties" personnel. I have never been on that position, I have always carried out Sqn and Station duties. Worse than that IMHO are the oxygen theives exempt OOA. In my trade at the moment only 48% of my rank are eligible for deployment!
I would also hazard a guess that most (not all) of the whinging on this thread come from people who don't do full length OOA tours, tend to use well found bases and live in hotels.
