Thanks for the Service
L1011GE, I was not meaning to dismiss your service to the UK. I served over 23 years with the RAAF and, like yourself, the end of my time went virtually unheralded, except for those with whom I worked. That said, I did not hold any expectation of anything different. The highlight of my "end of service" celebrations was me being hosed down by a fire tender crew as I descended the steps from the B707 at the end of my final RAAF flight.
My point was really that both you and acmech1954 probably learned a lot in your years of service and that not too many within the service would be able to offer any meaningful advice to you regarding civvy street. Good luck for your future to both you and acmech1954.
