So please explain to me where you have the experience of the kit we get issued. because the last time I looked the RAF only sent pilots into the frontline.
Air Traffic controllers are no where near the front line. And would have no need for half the kit I get issued.
So Aircraft fly without the aid of controllers?
We are very often way in front of the rest of the troops.
Also the Royal Air Force regiment protects airfields in forward positions and were infact the first troops on the streets of Aden,Northern Ireland ect.

A Wing Cdr is the same rank as a Lt Col in the Army
And you come on here gloating about how rich you are......you sit there telling everyone they are poor because they don't earn what you do or don't go on the same holidays as you.
You really should be ashamed of yourself.If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
I'm not an officer so why would I know that?
Because the biggest bone of contention throughout the forces is the fact that troops have to do 22 years and officers only do 16.

Well seeing as you have never been on the front line you wouldn't know now would you.
Prince Harry is a Recce soldier (same as me) and one of His jobs is FAC
Forward air controller........FAC (please google it)
Our Job as Recce is to call in Air strikes while BEHIND enemy lines, the reason being is because there are NO RAF that far forward. (other than the pilot)If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
