Am I missing something here? Although I'm now retired I didn't join the RAF as an entry to the commercial jobs market. What price the Military Covenant and Terms of Service? I joined to serve my Country knowing that it would take out a large chunk of my life. As it happened, it took out a lot more than expected but I wasn't reviewing the jobs market for most of my time.
I'm with the Lt Cdr and he's earned the right to pose that question. A Strategic Defence Review that bins the Joint CAS asset when we are still on a CAS centric operation is a cost cutting exercise. Lets just call it what it is.
