Is it really THAT bad??

Hi,
Im a UAS member that browses through these pages every now and again.
Im looking at joining up after Uni (if they'll have me!) but looking at the recent threads on this forum it would seem a bad idea!
Numerous threads have been saying that the RAF is terrible, in melt down etc.
Now, I don't know the inner workings of a job in the RAF but when im finding work a real pain in the I try and step back and look at my position. Then I find that I have a pretty good deal.
All jobs have changed a lot in the last few years, especially after 9/11, money seems to have been made even more of a priority for all, so cuts are inevitable.
So im suggesting that we start a thread about the good things of being in the RAF. Even though im only a UAS member im gunna try and start.
1. I get free flying lessons!!
2. My gf loves the uniform
3. And the best bit, theres great camaraderie between forces members.
Now i'll let the real RAF guys/girls have there say...
