i thinks it great a mp who actually takes a proper intrest in what the people who work with these aircraft actually have to say.

as a member of the armed forces i am appualled by the treatment of us by the goverment.

ive recently been told by higher authority that my trade is to be made obsolete because its a non deployable trade meaning there is no operational need for us in places like afgan and iraq. however we do work in akotiri and falklands where there is an established post for our trade. which are now closed to us.

so for those who have not left or are waiting to leave the trade. we are going to be sent to hubs where they are going to gather the last of our trade so we can see our time out.

but here is the part which is the kick in the teeth we will be used to go out to afgan and iraq as driver escort and guards. and while we are at the hubs we will be in/wating/just back from these places.

its just a mess please someone sort it out
As a member of the Armed Force I'm appalled that anyone is allowed in with English as poor as rafmatt's.

Mr Liddell-Grainger. Have you got any Pongo mates up there in Westminster who might want to start a similar crusade on behalf of us green types? Good on you!
