OK, I've been known to bash the Crabs in the past but this is sheer lunacy....

Put the JFH,MPA and SAR in the hands of the WAFU's

Put JHC (Yes all of it!) under direct control of the Pongoes

Leave the rest with the crabs - its what they know and what they're good at.

Therefore

1/ No more winging about going to sea
2/ Less winging about detached duties in far off places
3/ As a result of 1/ & 2/ therefore not so much people signing the line to get out, therefore money saved on recruitment and training.
4/ Smaller number of people = Smaller number of Airships and staff (One would hope)
5/ Spotty youths will still have a choice of 3 services.

... For those of you of the dark - blue persuasion who also wish to cite "Tradition" or lack of it in the RAF. I would have to strongly disagree. In the relatively short time they've been around they have proportionaly as much to celebrate as the other two services.

... The WAFU's have Taranto Night. Why don't the Crabs have BofB Night????

(GOD! I never thought i'd end up defending the RAF, But there you go, just shows that you can really surprise yourself sometimes )
