Was rather hoping that no civilians were going to muck the thread up

MadMark,
Been in for over a decade and just been lucky to have had a good time of it. Flown a lot, onto my second FJ type, done several ops, what's not to like.....

Champagne anyone...?
Overall have enjoyed serving but time for pastures new, before I become a grumpy old bugger
If you're leaving, just leave. If you're expecting a fanfare, you might be disappointed to learn that the military world won't fall apart in your absence.
Maybe my tinted specs have become a little more rosy since I left in 93 but ......
Oh! neither am I. Ooops!!!!!

9490 down and 1113 to push, can't really say that I have not enjoyed it, but I think that 2012 is going to be a tough year on all of us in HM Forces. When I get to the 30 year point thats it for me, time to get out the pipe and slippers.

......(quiet voice)
I still like it most of the time. It's the people, the quality of the people, that make it worthwhile though. Apart from them, it's all a bit crap at the moment, but I think it will improve soon.
I hope it will anyhow. Are things better elsewhere.......?

Still serving and not become a wingeing git?
I salute you all. 32 done with 3 to do. Good times have far outweighed the bad - which as a KPI makes me feel that all in all it has been a good decision.

9490 done, 2555 to do. Still enjoy it (mostly) and like having a new challenge every couple of years on job change. Have seen many parts of the world and sometimes forget how lucky we are to be able to do that. Not all the places have been 'great' but all have been 'great experiences' (especially in hind sight!)

Into my 27th year (in two Forces) and after a last minue change of heart and the offer of another overseas posting to a cracking job, I'll have about another 5 years to Serve.* It's generally been great but being nibbled to death is getting a bit tiresome - and a bit hard on the pocket.
Challenge over the next few years is to find a civilian job that's as interesting...
* subject to redundancy, of course.
