RAF or not
I agree to a large extent, with the above. Times have changed. No, you do not get to 'go' on a detachment with your partner, but a posting is for approx three years and the move is paid for by the tax payer. Salary expectations are no where near NATS, but still quite good and seem to be backed up by the gov't due to all the commitments around the world. That said, it is, as mentioned, 'a way of life' that can suit a lot of individuals.
