Southside you complete to**er.
Re read the post! I put "involuntarily unaccompanied", not involuntarily, of course I am a volunteer to serve. (
Words fail me as to the stupity of this boy scout, or should that be sea scout). That means I am posted away from home, but because of the employment conditions of my better half, we are posted apart, but we live in the same country. However the services give no recognition for the fact that I spend 4/7ths of the year away from home, if I was on an operational det then I would qualify for LSSA.
I have done plenty of time away in previous jobs, working as part of a team, deployed overseas on some very nice and some not so nice detachments. I have enjoyed all of them. If you think there is a difference between the RAF and the RN/Army then you are even more niave then you lead us to believe. Just go to ARRSE to see how much the army complain about their op tempo as well, so perhaps it is only a small part of the ever shrinking FAA that has rose coloured spectacles on.
Do you live at home? With mummy?
