IMHO, being in the RAF is fine - it's having to deal with issues such as
- Your aircraft being taken out of service a year early
- Said aircraft's replacement scrapped before entering service
- Your Home about to be shut
- No career prospects for a good 3+ years
- Incompetent fools making arbitrary knee jerk busybody decisions
- All compensation for courses, duty travel etc. being slashed mercilessly
- Pay freezes
- Reduction in living standards but an increase in costs (oh yes, CRL!)
I could go on, but due to cost cutting measures...
Apart from that - just rosy!
