Stay or go?????????????

rudekid,
Like number 2, I am also RAF resigned, have been for over twenty years, ex-Kipper and Shiny Fleets. Left for most of the reasons folks quit these days, even back then we had cuts which meant no spares, airfield guards, exercises, deployments as the nice places to stay had been closed,pay rises were dreams, (nothing is new in aviation). The one good thing was the index linked pension (understand there is still a contract out on the civil servant who thought that one up).
So, now as I sit in the company delay lounge waiting to get the mail to the boys and girls in the sandbox, I think I am quite entitled to browse the public 'Military only' site, having exhausted all the rumours of the day of the outside world. Also, just remember, we civvies pay your pittance salaries.
I am pleased to hear you enjoy service life, but one day you too will have to leave. Start preparing NOW, it is never too late.
