....to turn on the kenwood again.....It was previously mentioned that the A/crew (quite rightly) need the rations from an aviation medicine viewpoint.....however it should be pointed out that they "are" carrying out a task that they have trained and practiced for until it has become second nature.......now look at your "average" erk on the gate, live armed and green carded to death. He (or she) is not carrying out their daily duties and in fact are in an environment that is alien to then carrying out duties that they are not familiar with (what ever did happen to the RAFP??) and speaking (from very hard won experience) demotivated to an alarming extent (ever watched a cook cock up his unload/load drills at 4:30 AM fit the mag then working parts forward catch off to fire off the action???????
)
Now when all the ground trades were subject to these cuts just how much of a stir did "the other half" make????? Or was it a case of keep our collective heads down screw you jack were alright??
Awaiting the usual friendly banter in reply.
