Agree totally with Lafyar. Newly promoted, I have made the decision with Mrs SLC that it isnt worth the heart ache/separation to stay long enough to confirm the pension and have pulled the yellow and black handle to hopeful happiness. I just have to go before I become more bitter about the betrayal of our efforts by an ungrateful government and senior managements lack of inspirational leadership; I am no longer proud of the Royal Air Force in which I serve.
At least the man blowing the leaves on the grass outside my office has a sense of achievement when he goes home..................
