You don't give a monkey's what a bunch of retired old farts on an internet website say.
You're proud to go into work each day because you feel the job you do is a million times more worthwhile than any of your civvy friends.
You're not bitter because you weren't promoted to whatever level your ego thought you had earned.
You know that the capability your sqn can deploy is at least ten times that than was possible a couple of decades ago.
Well said Red Line, spot on. While a bit of healthy cynicism can be a good thing when it starts to become the default setting you should move on. I used to rail again the perma-cynics who would pop up and berate every thing to do with service life. There has always been reason to criticise at every stage of the RAF's life but you do wonder why these folk don't press to test and just leave. In truth they are the minority, they just like the sound of their own voices. It's folk like you that make the Service, good on you fella.
