Rumour has it that the VC10 Det were removed from BAH to EID (amongst other reasons - mainly operational and because they tied up a lot of real estate in Muharraq) was because they were renowned for bitching, whinging and moaning so the decision was made to GIVE them something to moan for!!
Of course I wouldn't buy into that terrible and probably unsubstantiated rumour suffice to say that you don't hear the same kind of thing from the Comms Fleet guys now based in BAH. Go figure.
In my experience it goes with the territory that everyone bitches about where they are thinking the 'other guy' has it better. Unfortunatly though the AAR fleet DOES usually have it the best (with regard to tasking, accomodation, Hotac, Rates) compared to the AT, FJ or SH boys and girls, hence why people get miffed when they hear the 'woe is us' tales.
Of course, this is to take nothing away from the fantastic job they do in adverse circumstances in order to sustain a high rate of Operational focus and tempo. If you are on 10/101 and these words rankle and you have never heard these whinges then you are fortunate - it doesn't mean they don't exist...
And as we know the words of a few are usually sufficient to secure the reputation of many.
