Gaps
A little harsh MPN11,
Manning policy is swiss cheese, gaps everywhere, so unfilled posts not exclusively due to people not wishing to deploy. My overseas tour was good and in truth I didn't really want to go but followed deskies orders. Today's RAF is increasingly just a job for countless reasons. Still a Bl##dy good one but people are more selfish now. Not because they are less loyal but for starters because redundancy rounds are every 5 years, pay is flat and career management awful. And that's before NEM. As such those that want a NATO post come from a small demographic.
