In my opinion, she has brought the RAF and her uniform into disrepute by her antics in 'The Jungle'. Can you imagine what would happen if a regular RAF officer behaved like that on TV?
sharpend, I can agree and respect your views on CV. However time has moved on and like it or not appealing to the social media generation will have great benefits to the cadets and the RAF.
IMO of course.
