Currently serving?

200 (and a bit) days to go for me but trying to extend a little bit...

Overall have enjoyed serving but time for pastures new, before I become a grumpy old bugger

What type of responses are you expecting from your post?

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.

And neither will the RAF!

I think the thrust of the thread is: "Do we have many serving RAF/FAA/AAC etc posters on PPRuNe?"

I've got plenty time yet to serve, and am currently not pi$$ed off with the service in any way.

Hope that helps the research.

In that case you are either a relative newbie looking at the Monkey Tree through rose-tinted spectacles or you are towards the top of the tree and can't see WTF everyone else is seeing

Still serving, but being one of MM's "everyone else" I am waiting to see what 12 June brings.

Are you putting money on that?

Maybe my tinted specs have become a little more rosy since I left in 93 but it seems very much like the RAF is well on its way to falling apart in my absence

Just done 8,030 days in the Regulars and I'm now a full-time reservist with up to 7,300 days to go - with a bit of flying thrown in as well (mil and civ reg).

I must say the commitment for my latter life suits far better as I get into my senior years!
