I enjoyed every moment up until I left in January and would have stayed if I could have chosen to forsake my career in return for endless station jobs. However, having done a SEngO's tour, with little hope of an OC Eng's tour (or even OC Fwd), and with the IPTs' increased "working with industry" I was destined to work in civvy street for the foreseeable, whether wearing a blue suit or not. Therefore, it seemed right to take my option.
The thread clearly shows you're not the only one in the RAF who still enjoys it and you shouldn't assume that everyone that leaves didn't enjoy their time.
PS Keng130 etc are right. Having spent my entire time in the FJ world, I had a road to Damascus conversion with a last tour on Hercs. Spend some time with an AT or SH sqn in the current Op tempo and you'll realise that you FJ boys don't know you're born!
