Serving Personnel


“We are less than 50% manned at our rank so we pick up everything and more, especially as a deployable unit. I go on every deployment because there isn’t anyone else to go.”


“My Sqn has reduced the aircrew manning from 30 crews to 18 crews but there has not been a reduction in tasking or duties.”


“Due to the falling available manpower on my unit, and the constant operations we are expected to carry out, I feel very overworked and highly under-appreciated. I am due to deploy on my 6th ‘Op Shader’ and my 2nd this year alone. In my opinion I am being held back in my career because of my unit’s SQEP levels.”
