Just be careful what one asks for - and, yes, I do live in SFA!
Whenurhappy, I thought you lived in a shed in a former soviet bloc country, or have you since moved back to UK MQs? Which is worse out of interest?

Well said Ivan This is not about 'life in the military' and MTFU. This is about being provided adequate service accn that is not a health hazard. This is your home for the period you are in MQs. For those that think we should 'get on with it' I agree there are times in the mil we need to man up and employ the can do attitude - this is not one of those occasions IMO.

We can be our country's best asset by being flexible, but we can also be our own worst enemies if we don't know when to say "enough is enough" and "i cannot do this." I seem to remember the safety officer in the Haddon-Cave report (Nimrod) had a can-do attitude when he probably shouldn't have.

this is your home and the health of your family; ask yourself if MTFU and carry on is appropriate in this situation? not in my MQ it's not.
