What consideration is given to personnel who own their own house?
I love RAF life, as does my husband but the pressure in work is mounting with people leaving it’s becoming a vicious circle. Don’t enjoy RAF life at all, can’t wait for my husband to leave.
This year my husband has spent a lot of time away Mon-Fri, often with very little notice. He is not paid any extra for this despite it costing our family for him to be away (getting £4 a day for meals doesn’t cover the cost of resting in the mess where he has been).
The constant stress and worry while he is away has impacted greatly on the quality of life of all of our family, particularly our young children who can’t be prepared for when my husband will be away as we don’t know.
I am praying for another Redundancy Tranche just so that there is a possibility of leaving before my out date in 2019. Career Manager not interested in looking sensibly at posting options. I have had enough.
5 years ago, our children, who were air cadets and love flying, were hoping to join. This would have been the third generation. However, after seeing the treatment of us as a family in recent years they have now changed their mind and plan on different careers post- university.
Pay gap to civilian equivalent rates is becoming too large. Reducing number of staff is leading to excessive secondary duties.
After 27 years I am still very proud to serve.
The RAF need to consider the family especially the children as my partner is always away. It can seriously cause issues.
Sometimes ruins family events. Sometimes dad has to miss birthdays etc. I feel that he has to miss out on personal/social life to work. There are benefits and I love the RAF.
