I left the Air Force in 2001 and the only things I miss is the sense of humour and the laughs I had .. I think Lafyar Cokov is Spot on and far from being a rant his post is 100% spot on.
I could see the way things were going back then and I havent looked back since joining Civvy St, it still makes me smile that employers thought more of me for just having been in the Royal Air Force than the Royal Air Force thought of me while I was serving.
As for the politicians they are living proof that brain death isnt fatal, as far as I am concerned the only man who ever entered the House of Commons with a good idea was Guy Fawkes.
I am going to stop now before the Rant switch kicks in ..
