First report from horses mouth!
Just a quick comparison of civvie/mil organisational styles.
3 guinea pigs arrive at Cranwell 1 day pre-groundschool. Told will be doing course at Ox post shortened groundschool. B*ggered about in terms of costs moving to Cranwell and subsequently back to Brize. Started at Oxford Monday just gone. Moved out of Brize Tues due to 'shortage of accommodation'. Studes now living in Dalton Barracks. TGDA still to decide if this is acceptable or whether to use B&B's. (Don't lose sight of that fact this is a cost cutting exercise).
Not good so far...
Studes arrive at Oxford Mon morning to be greeted by gate blokey knowing who they were and where they had to go. Met by Chief Instructor and given outline of course. In sim on day one, told they start flying tomorrow!
Now, in my opinion, I wouldn't care what I was flying, arriving somewhere to see that they've thought about what's going on and what's happening to you before the course starts must be a great relief! In comparison to the RAFs Exercise RUNNING GOAT F**** that it seems to be this is surely a good sign!
