You Sir, Name,

Points of order, if you please:

Wednesday off for "sports"
Home by lunchtime on Fridays

I did almost 20 years in said organisation and didn't EVER get a Wednesday afternoon off for sports.

Nor did we knock off early on Fridays.

When we worked a full weekend we got one day off in lieu.
When we were short of aircraft on the OCU our boss came up with a really good idea. He ran two shifts so we could get better use of the aircraft. Of course, after a week or so, we all ended up working both shifts.....
We seldom got our full allocation of leave, either.
Did the boss's career good though, he reached Air Rank.

And folk ask me why I eventually decided enough was enough.

You must be confusing it with the Army.
