I only hope that my next post can be on something more constructive than this subject!
Naaaah, unlikely 'cos we all hate skuffers!
I don't know if you've read the whole thread QFIhawkman (and God knows I wouldn't want to) but you'll see that most posters accept the professional RAFP (i.e. Comp Sy, Counter int etc) are fine, it's the jumped-up LAC/A/Cpl (U) and his/her senior brethren who were too thick to specialise that are the targets for abuse.
I work for the real police (civi staff) and they seem to be darn site more flexible and capable of working on their own initiative - there also seems less of the vindictive petty-mindedness of some of the RAFP posters here. Oh, did I forget arrogance? Telling aircrew and (ex) int all about the lack of air threat in the 'Stan and Iraq?
