Stop Moaning!!
Get a grip people - I thought Ops Officer bashing was ancient history.
There are some excellent Ops Officers out there who make a major contribution to the running of the RAF. Yes, the Branch suffered on creation primarily due to some crazy recruitment procedures i.e. you have to go ATC first and only if you fail can you go with your first Branch choice. And Desk Officers haven't helped when they post people with little, or no experience, into challenging roles.
Good luck AlphaWhiskyRomeo and hope your eye sight meets the required criteria. Don't let the negativity here put you off.
