TonkaEngO
So you are still happy - good for you, but are your men? Another one of mine PVRed a few days ago. Are many/any of yours leaving?
I am having to make some assumptions here, based on the fact you are a TonkaEngO from Norfolk. I presume you are going OOA as a formed unit what one every 15-18 months? To a large airbase full of US assets in a country some people go on holiday to? Do you have air conditioned accommodation, 20 flavours of ice cream, showers, bowling alleys, cinema, lots of fast food, a two can rule? Do you have nobody shooting at you? Do you still get to do Red Flag once a year, maybe once every two years? NATO exercises still?
Well I believe it is currently a two tier RAF, and for some fleets, perhaps F3, E3D the training environment, life is very different from say Harrier, SH, and AT experiences. I am glad you are still enjoying your time in the RAF - I just wish I could say the same for all of my men.
I now stand by to be corrected by F3 and E3D guys (I didn't even mention Typhoon)
