she joined the RAAF
Why did she go all the way to Australia to join; unless, of course, Haverfordwest is in New South Wales.
I'll get my coat...
Seriously though, good luck to her and her colleagues.

RAuxAF (I think!)
The very best of luck to her. Just watched the video clip, and she not only seems confident, but also came across as having a warm and friendly personality. What more could any of us want when we aren't at our best, and need a bit (or a lot) of care.

Would imagine this lady is from 4626 Sqn RAuxAF (Aeromeds), who I think have had folk mobilised for every major Op since GW1.
Love the way the BBC heads talked about her being "offered the chance" to go - clearly no idea of the reality of life waiting for the "brown envelope" !!

I saw this lady on breakfast News and was well impressed. Cheerful, articulate, sensible, modest about what she is doing and great example of what service people, full or part-time, are all about. Travel safe and get back safe!

RAF Nurse
wow and wow, what an amazing advert for the RAF. medical trade has done well recently with good and well deserved praised. Just remember loads of other trades out there working under difficult conditions.
Hopefully some of the old school on this network will acknowledge times are different and heroes(yep a big word) are born from any rank. I refer to the L/Cpl today who received the George Cross. Congrats!!

I do not know why we send all of these people and equipment over to Afganistan, surely you could send in the NAAFI Wagon, you can never escape from that, it will hunt you down mercillously, the one at Colt used to be able to detect someone owing money at 300 paces years afterwards
. Deploy 20 of those across Helmand province in the worst areas and they will all go to ground I tell you and quake in their sandals........
Good on her going, it makes you proud to know such folks are with you.
