Skunkerama,
Equality within the Armed Forces is an essential aspect of service life and I fully uphold all of the required core values required by the Royal Air Force.
It is unfortunate however, that some personnel within the Royal Air Force take great pleasure in making fellow servicemens life difficult whenever and wherever possible.
There are plenty of examples within this thread of acts of stupidity by RAFP. Take the example of the FS RAFP who went out of his way to prevent a C130 captain flying home some personnel who would have otherwise been unnecessarily stranded in theatre.
During my time in the RAF, I have either directly experienced or, have been told of spitefull, hateful behaviour from the very people who demand our respect as the Service's policemen.
IMHO, they operate with very little credibility in todays environment and require a complete overhaul in order to make their salaries worth paying.
My comments are simply extreme banter which you are not obliged to read.
Questions?
