Seldom check your PM's,

Quite right of course, but as I have said we all have our own destinies to fulfill. I could get 12 months notice of redundancy at any time as can you. I could die in a train crash tomorrow just as easily as one of your not fit for purpose jets could do the same to you.

Where those of us who left mid 40's score the most is that the majority of age 55 ex service retirees don't live to see 60 and that is what your actuarial tables are based upon. And I can name a lot of guys I worked with over the 28 years I was in who did exactly that.

Lifes a gamble of course, but the one thing you don't very often see on here is the vets complaining about life outside. Unlike of course the serving who have turned Pprune into a whinge site!

Back to the tracks now...

Good luck everyone.
