Always difficult working out how to support guys, and girls, in difficulty. As a scribbly it was pretty useful in many ways having a budgie on my jumper, as it gave some understanding of the bigger picture. On one occasion I became aware of a pilot, going through a marriage break-up, who clearly was not coping too well on the ground so might also have had challenges in the air as a fighter pilot. I spoke to my OC Admin who suggested that if I was really concerned, I should speak to the Staish, which I did. Guy was handled sensitively, put on a ground task for a while and a few weeks later was back flying. I like to think I may have contributed to saving a life by speaking out, but it is not easy unless you trust those above you.
