Nice comebacks ... I don't necessarily agree with them, but still good.
If you suggest if you cant beat them join them is the right idea, I suggest you are lacking the team ethos the RAF ingrained in me from day 1.
I was suggesting that some good exped training / skiing / mountaineering / sailing ... all round sporty activity, is open to all and has extremely good benefits. In my experience (being involved with RAF representative sport), there are a lot of guys out there who do respresent the Service (as it was a recruiting hook by the RAF Careers Office) and feel very guilty about doing so. In my opinion, they shouldn't.
its what the majority of those who could be bothered, or in fact were able, to complete the survey.
You can't ask opinion and then fill in the gaps of those who don't bother in which ever way it suits you. That would be naughty.
As for SFFP:
As regards GF I think you should simply ignore him/her as there is definite evidence to support egdg's post 113
He's got a thing about thinking that people who have a contrary view must be NCOs and/or airman ... not sure what it's about ... just ignore him. Barrack Room Lawyer I think ... doesn't like people disagreeing with her.
