AWACS Bhoy good luck! After your trg and CRC tour, you could well find yourself E3 bound. Stick it out through the early bunker years and the better tours will come your way.
As for me ... still enjoying it. How many civvy jobs out there give you access to a free gym and adventurous trg and free dental? And a damn good wage when you start out .... to mention but a few.
I'm waiting for some of the early PVR's to re-apply. They'll be back when they realise what they've lost. Seen it many times before.
AVM Rimmer once told me if you see an old Sqn Ldr whinging about how good the RAF used to be, tell them I said 'Get out now'. The future is always with the new blood.
The whinging old should step aside.
