Grrr RAF NCA or remain a civi ?

Im 30 which makes me too old for everything except NCO Aricrew, which is great cos Aircrew or NCO Airecrew is what I wanted to do in the RAF anyway.

However, after reading this forum considerably over the passed few weeks there seems to be a distinct air of unhappiness in the NCA arena, lots of people moving on... lots of people sounding very fed up and pi$$ed off with it all.

I know there have been considerable changes in the NCA branches and pay and conditions have caused a large number to walk, hence the raising of upper age from 29 to 34 Im guessing...

So come on WSops and ALMs say something good about the job, tell me its worth applying and pushing myself through OASC at my ripe old age then 12 months training and tell me I will have the chance to re-muster to pilot after 2 weeks on the job dream on...SAR ALM would be my first choice.

Im a bit of a patriot at heart and want to do my bit but having spent 10 yrs building a good career in civi street - should I leave it behind ?

Any help, advice, or pi$$ taking comments gratefully received...
