Tuesday

Well, I’ve got nothing else to do, so I’m going to write. Hurrah you say.

So, what’s happening at the moment? I’ve got work to do, school trundles on, that only really leaves Cadets to talk about. Tuesday may or may not be good. It may be good because I’ll see Amy again after this last week and be able to tell everyone about Kinloss. It may be bad because Flt. Sgt. Anderson/Debbie finishes tomorrow, and that’s a pity. Partly because she’s one of the coolest NCOs there, but partly because she’s been in the ATC for (I think) seven years. That’s a long time. I have great respect for someone who could stick with anything for that long. Seven years, by the way, equates to about 700 parade nights. Each of those being 2 1/2 hours, that works out to:

105,000 minutes. Or 1750 hours. Or 72.92 days. Or just over 10 weeks ‘on duty’ without counting camps or the like. Holy Damn.

As I say, I have great respect for anyone who can stick with anything for that long. If you’re reading, I genuinely wish you good luck with what you’re going on to do after Cadets!
