Stress is a natural response to a challenge. The flight/fight mechanism (that would relieve prehistoric stress in homo sapiens and aircrew) is no longer aplicable to the modern world. The only thing that can relieve stress in the modern office-base world is ACTION.
That is why civil servants in low paid, menial jobs who have no power to do anything except put giant hurdles in the way of all military projects are all "under stress". yet they have some of the most simple, easy stress-free jobs of anyone. They relieve their 'stress' by taking sickies or lining their pockets by profiting from H&S initiatives that block true progress.
The moment ANYONE takes ACTION they immediately relieve their stess, Sitting and moaning about how it used to be (When I was on Wessex/Sea king Hunter, the V force, whatever, could be, if only etc etc etc does nothing but incapacitate which leads to "Stress"
Rant Over
WAKE UP, Smell the coffee OR get left behind get "STRESS" or just get on with your post/job life. Easy.
