At face value, it may appear to some as the dripping of a SNCO about hard sandwiches and lack of retail facilities.
But the deeper (and more worrying) issues are that 1) Although this is a relatively new Op, RAF Akrotiri should be a well established MOB with the appropriate H24 facilities. 2) Some of these guys will have been on expeditionary ops since 9/11...and Op Southern Watch before that. If you want an Armed Forces, you have to invest in it.
And finally, 3) do you really want a tired, malnourished, p*ssed off engineer with one eye on the PVR button maintaining your jet during constant ops over badlands??
