5 forward 6 back. To answer your question...
I second Enginesuck observations in post (my keyboard doesn't have a hash key) 69.
I would like to add the biggest problem for me is that loyalty and respect should be a two way thing.... Some shiny in P1 demands respect, integrity, service and excellence from me. But when I'm working my balls off in unpleasant conditions I'm not seeing any of that back. There just is no incentive or recognition.
Also, when I come across cases like Enginesuck's course at Marham, I often think "would any civvy company put up with this s***"? The X factor pay falls way way short of compensating for it.
