Oh, and I forgot to say that about twenty of our nav brethren have signed up to the extra 6 months to 6 years of the transistion package and two have been assimilated. Does 'assimilated' [to absorb into the body or into the group or system, to become absorbed into something (Oxford Dic)] sound vaguely like 'Bodysnatchers'.
I digress. I'm all for more money, I mean who isn't, but I would prefer to fly reasonably serviceable (with software that works) aircraft and train to fight. That's what I joined up for. Not political obliqueness and pretence that we are a world player.
All I ask is that you retain me (not that I'm much good but considering what's, left I can become the veritable eagle soaring above turkeys, and who wants that!!).
