Haraka:-
a visiting VSO..."Look, the RAF doesn't give a sh*t about you . Get out and get on with the rest of your life."
Says a lot about that VSO's personal investment in the Royal Air Force, and in stark contrast to my ex-boss (a mere Gp Capt) who despite ensuring my own PVR went through, nonetheless dedicated his life to the RAF rather than to his own personal ambition. I don't blame you for taking exactly the same course that I did. I do however find the style of advice given you as very telling, and perhaps typical of the RAF High Command's culture in general.
