Really getting boring now gents. Some of you seriously need to get another life and move away from this thread now.
Agreed. Just one final point.....
whilst at the same time moaning about having to do what is part of every serviceman and womans Primary duty (keeping fit)
If you are in the RAF Jayand, your primary duty is the same as everyone elses - that is, putting aircraft in the sky.
Keeping fit is an enabler for that, as you point out, but it is not the primary aim. CCS, trade knowledge, ability, integrity, ability to lead & motivate, work within a team etc are all as crucial as personal fitness.
Yes, fitness is important but it is one singular skill amongst many that are needed. I'd rather have a fat, but knowledgable engineer fixing my aircraft than a fit but useless one. In the same vein, I'd rather have a fit rockape with half a gcse in woodwork guarding me than a lardy one with a PHD.
Can we argue about something else now?
