Okay.
I genuinely posted this to raise awareness. I am really shocked at the negative outpouring of some posters who are completely missing the point.
I'm fine, thanks. I didn't apply for this post at all, but accepted it on the terms it was offered after discussing the implications with my wife.
The terms changed, with a huge loss of take home pay at no notice. Our calculations on outgoings for our mortgage etc were shot to hell. I've taken a loan to see us through. My wife had an okay job, but can't work here at all. Endex.
But we are fine and will get by. Cheers mates, apart from SFFP who had his two tours when the allowances covered costs. D*ck. Made money?
My officer pay and flying pay puts me in a good position. Not the same for my troops, my responsibility. My big concern
This was advice. I worry about the future of the RAF.
