Bumped into an ex-mob colleague today. He still keeps in touch by flying Space Cadets at weekends.
"Do you miss the RAF?", I asked.
"I miss what it was", he said, "but not what it is now!"
A view shared by so, so many.
Good luck, Almost_done! Don't feel guilty when your new employer asks you to do something, rather than telling you what you are going to do!
