Chris i feel your pain, I never joined up and i work in the food industry but it is the same there
pay for managers goes up while the last few years we have had nothing, seems to be the way of the world at the moment, the less you know the more you earn :embarrassed:
my father left the air force in the mid 90s, up until then i never really saw him or knew him but on the bright i never held that against him (i was 13 when he left the airforce) and since he left we became great friends as well, so the future is bright
