There is no doubt that there will be a lot of dis-established posts, at Kinloss and other maritime support units, currently filled by WSOps. However, it would be entirely wrong to assume that only the current incumbents are in line for redundancy.
Manning desks will be directed to remove their pics at the above units thus creating a manning surplus across the whole Service, not simply at Kinloss. All personnel, throughout the Service, in the surplus ranks and trades will be affected. You might be in Vegas, right now, but you are as vulnerable to redundancy as the Kinloss wet man.
You could be a tristar FS eng or ALM, thinking that this has nothing to do with you, but if you have not been anything special in the promotion boards recently you will be in line for the boot to make way for fresh blood from Kinloss.
Maritime WSOps: this is a Service-wide problem, not just maritime. Your expectations/hopes to remain in the RAF are just as valid as every other WSOp, wherever they are. Yes, you can expect to move from Kinloss within the next year or so, if you remain in the RAF.
Good luck, everyone.
