When were you on the wing?
I was at Lipa in 98 and I know what you mean about the Pet Ops guys. There was two of us to do tankers and helo's 24/7 (it was a break when winter came and there was no night flying) The Army had at least 18 to do tankers only!
However my point is that a lot of the whining in this thread come's from people who don't (due to the nature of their jobs) have to do the kind of thing we constantly get on with.
I've also recently spent 4 years with the Regt during which you not only do your job, but defend yourself as well (hence producer guards)
Truckie bloke, do you have to do a guard stint in Basra?
