Lame, war dodging and subsistence claiming.
It has been put forward via my MP that we let the troops go back to worthwhile employment and let civilians do the job for 1/2 of the salary cost.
The blessed naysayers will cry about blue suit jobs, respite and career opportunities. My MP was fully onside, the RAF Chief Clerks still do the ‘don’t turn up and you’re out’ bit, the RAF Police do their bit and CAS gets to star in a new Xmas vid… but salary wise the RAF saves a significant amount, and more importantly gets to recruit more engineers.
The RN are about to bit tackled by the same reasoning and a different MP.
The ar5ehole team member that lived near Waddington obviously ticked off enough people. Did you know Waddington was hit 36 times in 2 years? (Edited this but because, as pointed out, it could have been taken two ways)
In sum, you cannot argue that the RAF needs front line people, not a chilled out bunch of cowboys, on good money taking up valuable manpower numbers. Something has to give.
