Well after nearly 4 years I'm off to pastures new. My memories of Cosford are thus:
(I'm pointing no individual fingers of blame so please take no personal offence if your area is covered)
1. The best Gym and Staff I've had the pleasure of dealing with so far.
2. The social life for Juniors in Quarters is abysmal / non-existent.
3. Working with trainees has been, on the whole, the best thing i've done in my career.
4. I have to say site services on the whole have been surprisingly good and many a time i've had to request "weird" things at short notice and people will usually do their best to help.
5. The relationship between Civvies and RAF is starting to get more strained with each worried the other will "Pinch" their job.
6. The SWO is without doubt the nicest one i've met (No B*llockings at all in 4 years).
To all those thinking of trying Instructor Duties I can heartilly recommend it, most of the time you do feel you're making a difference to the future of your trade and you even come home sometimes with a smile on your face when you've helped someone through a phase of training that otherwise they'd have failed.
Bye.
