Save the BEagle!
In another thread BEagle has said:
"....I'm not expecting to wear blues again - or a green bag, for that matter. Currently on annual/resettlement/terminal leave with 101 days until the F1250 gets handed in......when told last year that it was going to be a ground tour for me this Spring, I pulled the black-and-yellow...."
This is appalling and cannot be allowed to happen. BEagle has been one of the most consistently balanced and informative contributors during the 4-5 years I've had visitiing rights here. (Ignore the date of registration below). Notwithstanding the odd clash here and there.
Seriously, that is exactly what I did some 16 years ago. It wasn't so much the fact that a ground job was in the offing, but the quality of that job.
Don't underestimate the emotional shock that comes with handing in that 1250. Even though your Pension will be paid by the new "Veterans Agency".
"Courage, BEags"
