RAF to encourage Fat WAAFs

Well, not strictly true but........

Why under the new fitness test standards does a 49 year old bloke have to out-perform a 16-20 something woman? Is it so that us old blokes are fast enough to catch a young bit of plumper WAAF stuff or has the RAF gone totally sexist? Or maybe our old services are no longer required!!! (tough - most of us are fitter than a butchers dog!!)

For me, it's time to fail my first fitness test and then claim that if I had been femail that i would have passed. Then proceed to sue the MoD for sexism and enhance my pension fund!!

We get the same pay, we serve in the same places so why the different standards? Anyone any ideas on why the big difference (excuse the pun!) or has the top brass just got a penchant for large ladies?!!
