I have a mate who is in the RAF but works for the ACO. We had a chin wag over a beer this weekend. He goes away quite a lot and gets cheesed off back at his own base when he has people lording over him that have no military experience at all. I do wonder, what pecentage of Air Cadets go on to join the RAF. I wouldn't join the RAF. I wanted to a few years ago, good job I didn't with the lataest round of redundancies. As for the Voulenteer Gliding schools, why dont these people join private gliding clubs? ITS TO EXPENSIVE!!!! sttaight from the horses mouth
