tailchase, if not writing, certainly reading.
There are those of us who have kicked around this air force for long enough to see how much overlap there is. I will swear here: "Leaning". If a consultancy firm came and looked at the whole organisation (as opposed to the snippets we choose to give them), they would have a field day. So many of the skills (not all) are entirely transferrable. Why don't we get out of our stavepipes and actually do something productive instead? To those NCA who are stuck bleating away on ground tours, welcome to the RAF. Have you ever thought that exposure to something other than your 'prime' role may actually make you, and the Service, a better rounded person/organisation? If not, there is a nice little video somewhere of an AAC staff sgt being in the thick of things as part of a cobbled-together platoon in Afghanistan. To me, that is a true professional - someone who thinks a little further than his comfort zone.
