Just realised that I have 3 months till my last day in the RAF after 22 years. That's a sneeky little bugger, crept up on me.
Looking forward to it but scared sh$£tless at the same time, not got a guaranteed job or a house to live in yet. Been applyng like mad though.

Don't you just hate **** taking pongos???It could be worse, I think there are still enough in the RAF for it to keep it's name , unlike the Army (or soon to be British Defence Yeomanry)Blimey, is there still a Royal Air Force? After ditching the Harrier force and handing over Nimrod MR4 to some dodgy scrap dealer I didn't think there was anyone left. After 22 years of good and faithful service can you turn the lights out when you leave? Thanks.
Old fart, that's me!! I think it does boil down to not knowing about the job or housing situation. I feel that it'll fall into place as time goes on, but right now it's scary.Nothing to be scared about although the thought of the unknown can put you on edge a little. I know first hand as I left the RAF a few years ago but I was no where near your 22 years of service, you old fart .

I thought that you were down to 2 canoes and a row boat with a GPMGYou Pongos and Crabs don't have it any better than us, the Navy is now the most heavily armed fishery protection force in the world. Although we (might) have a Cruise Missile aimed at the Argentinian President's Shed...We're all just the f£%king armed wing of the Red Cross now anyway.From a jaded submariner.
Yep that about covers it, though you have to include the glory boys (fighters). It's a gloryfied flying club run by and for the officers.Pretty much, them and the Submarines don't need diesel which we can't afford anymore. Saying that, are you guys not just a glorified budget airline with a very limited list of destinations these days?
