Last day in the RAF
Well today is my last day in her Majestys Air Force. Done 9 years all based at Odiham fixing Chinook helicopters. 4 Afghan tours and 1 Iraq. Gonna miss the lifestyle and sense of responsibility, but most of all the people. It's not what it used to be, not by a long shot but I wouldn't change a thing.

Re: Last day in the RAF
For one i'd like to say thanks for the service you've given over the years mate-our guys and girls in the forces don't get the recognition that they deserve.

Re: Last day in the RAF
Cool job, those lovely choppers. Well done mate and enjoy what ever you do next.
I think most jobs aren't what they used to be. Mine certainly isn't

Re: Last day in the RAF
You are right when you say it's not the same as it used to be.
I only have 2 years 6 months left from today for my 22. The people and social side will probably be the thing you miss the most.

Re: Last day in the RAF
Thanks all, much appreciated. Yeah i'm definately going to miss the social side of it, beer calls at work, fancy dress etc etc....
Here's some of us on a trip to the church in london, the theme was brittney spears and the phone call went something like this... 'Si we're all off as britney spears in different outfits' 'Cool, everyones not going as the schoolgirl are they?' 'No course not, there's loads to choose from, schoolgirl, air hostess, etc..' 'k cool, i have a good one.' So i turn up at the railway station to be confronted by everyone wearing the same outfit, great. I looked like a cross dressing bobslayer.  Quote:
