PARALLEL TRACK:
You are either d*cking for somebody in the upper echelons or you are a complete d*ck!
Nice addition to the debate. I think you may have really won the argument with that one PARALLEL TRACK!
It seems that I've managed to uncover ANOTHER whinger. Sorry everyone, that wasn't my intent!

Thanks for clearing up my statement that there aren't any guaranteed 'Jobs For Life' in the Service any more. When you join, you have to reach a certain rank, sometimes within a certain time, sometimes if there are still spaces in branch/trade, before being offered an extension to Service, which obviously isn't a guaranteed 'Job for Life' on joining. I just remember the plight of the Jnr Tech Armourers in the mid-nineties who, despite some top quality blokes, were shown the door. Very, very unfortunate for some good blokes.
Unless of course your Seldomfitforpurpose, who knows someone who has just been signed on to 55 at aged 16! Mind you, I think SFFP impending pension with Mrs SFFP may have affected his memory, as in the same post he says guys approaching 40 will be offered the same .... but that's not a 'job for life' on joining!
Oh well, I'll keep earning my tax to pay his pension so that he come onto PPRUNE and tell everyone how cr@p the RAF is and it was
all better in his day!
Sound like he's only in it for the pension ...!
