This little story surprises me not one jot! My heart goes out to this poor girl, but unfortunately nothing will be learnt from this. My personal experiences of the Service line when losing a very close member of family were appalling, and today 3 years later it continues to be a cancer in my life; to be told by a snot second tourist JO the day after I return from compassionate leave and less than a week after buring my mother who died very suddenly and unexpectedly that he didn't care was for me the last straw and a sea change in my attitude to the RAF. What made it worse that even my OC tried to cover up for him, 3 years later and the redress is still grinding along.
I sincerely hope that time will heal the wounds that this poor lady has experienced, but if what I went through is anything to go by she will have a long time to wait, notwithstanding grovelling apologies from Members of State.
