Today is my last day in the RAF after 37 years. I go with some sadness at the state of the RAF today but I can honestly say that I have had the time of my life. Great friends, great experiences and I have travelled to places I can't even spell or find on a map.
I got caught shagging OC Admin Wings daughter, but she is now the present Mrs Last day, I got done for drink driving and was given a severe rep (not very proud of that one) but it didn't stop me from getting to the top of my pile.
All I say to the youngsters joining today is take everything the RAF has to offer you, education, adventurous training and get on as many courses as you can the list is endless if you are prepared to go out and get it.
Would I do it all over again? Damn right I would.
Will I spend my retired life on here getting angry at the Government and MOD? Damn right I won’t. Life is too short.
Good bye to you who remain and stay safe wherever you find yourself, but above all don't let the buggers grind you down even if you don't like the present pay scale, after all nobody has been given a pay cut.
Cheers.
ps. can I sell what I have left of my kit on ebay?
