This is all shades of the medical and nursing drawdown post GW1, a friend who was a Squadron Leader nurse in charge of operating theatres at various locations, on a PC from an SSC, called into office. Brown envelope and goodbye, no pension nothing. Cr***d on from a great height.
When they discovered they did not have enough specialist nurses for GW2, his comment was 'if they want me back they'd better send two snowdrops and tell them to bring handcuffs'.
The RAF has like the NHS pi**ed too many people off over recent years and are now reaping the benefits or lack off because senior management has let them down.
