All understood. However, LGAF committed to the RAF. The career he joined up for has not been trashed - just the ac type and role he has been initially trained for. His career has yet to come and will take shape in whatever guise the RAF require. Like all members of the military, his life is (to a great extent) not his own. He is a pawn to be trained, retained (or let go) and used as the Crown sees fit. Part of this is the expectation that one serves wherever the Crown requires us to serv ... for whatever reason. LGAF, nor any member of the miltary, should expect to serve at one location TFN and remain there just because he, or they, like it. Sure, it often happens that some serve for long periods of time in one place and as long as this matches the Service need there is nothing wrong with it - the Service, the individual and the individual's family can all benefit. But the point is, this is not a right, its a bonus.
Simples.
