e-goat membership

[gemarriott]

A few years ago the goat was seemingly made up of mainly serving personnel with a sizeable percentage of ex servicemen. I know in the distant past all the mods apart from a couple of old farts were then currently serving but now I think we are down S2, mad-collie and SSH with the rest all civvies. OOPS forgot the fuzz, sorry chip

I was just wondering if we are now more an EXRAF rumour mill than a RAF rumour mill?

 

[Climebear]

Still taking the shilling but considering my options...

So then, what's the current number of bodies wearing blue, compared to 6 years ago?

Thinking about it I wounld'nt say it's a sign of the goat more a sign of the RAF today and how it's changed over the last 5 years.

During my time there were over 100,000 serving in the RAF with an average of 2,000 blue suits on each station. The number of active airfields have been dramatically reduced and the number of bluesuit posts have gone to contractors.
Within about 10 years we will probably have more brown job members than bluesuits. Oh, and more ex..............

So consider the change over the last 20 years since I bailed and the next 5, thats 25 years. Then it's the end of the experiment 2018.

You can't run a service like a business, you need an ethos. In both directions.

I will never be a civvy. They will have to prise my F1250 (note 1250, not MOD90) from my cold dead hands when this callsign blows my own brains out at the main gate on the last day of my service.

 

[freudian slip]

Still in, looking for a way out.

 

[busby1971]

[Oberon305]

I'm still in. Will probably be a lifer. Sad or what?!

 

[Perrin]

Still serving, in year 23, out next May.

Happy to be leaving, RAF is now run by acountants, people's attitudes have changed in the last 23 years, some blame the playstation generation, i kind of agree
