Probably yes.
But at the same time how do you fancy Iraq or Afghanistan this time of year? If you were told it'll be one this year, and the other the next, how would you feel then? Oh and by the way, how do you feel about the fact that you'll get paid approximately 20-40% less than your contemporaries in civvy street?
We could argue this all night. I'm just trying to give you a flavour of where most of the RAF are coming from.
By the way, not offended in the slightest old chap. As I say, I'm out soon, so I feel no offence whatsoever! Ask the guys that are staying though......
