Skeleton, I didn't make the 4 ranks bit but;
We flew an OP sortie and were then slated to deploy to St Mawgan to continue the OP. Mrs PN was just about to pop PN 2.
Difficult choice.

Crew were brilliant. Short story, we flew the OP, did the debrief, crew did a hot QTR after the 9 hr sortie and I got home in time. We are still married.
You need to sit down and have a serious in depth discussion with Mrs and decide your options.

It was certainly true that some, even at the height of the cold war, spent almost the whole of their time on one type at one base on an 8-5 Monday to Friday basis but that could be deadly boring.
