My name is Tom Goble. I바카라 사이트m a Flight Lieutenant and I바카라 사이트m currently the
00:06 바카라 사이트 00:11
SO3 Combat Air for the A6 Air Programme바카라 사이트s Office.
00:11 바카라 사이트 00:14
I applied for a 20 percent reduction in my working hours.
00:14 바카라 사이트 00:17
I바카라 사이트d always kind of fancied myself as a bit of a musician to be honest but I
00:17 바카라 사이트 00:20
never knew how I compared to the guys who did it for a living rather than
00:20 바카라 사이트 00:24
the guys I met in the Air Force who kind of just did it for fun. I felt like I was just missing
00:24 바카라 사이트 00:27
that aspect of my life and I wasn바카라 사이트t really finding a good balance between
00:27 바카라 사이트 00:31
being in the Air Force and still finding the time to get out and prep for gigs
00:31 바카라 사이트 00:36
And go to gigs. So it was when a friend of mine introduced me to the idea of
00:36 바카라 사이트 00:39
Flexible Service where you could actually, you know, almost buy back a bit of that
00:39 바카라 사이트 00:45
time. So that바카라 사이트s why I took it. I went to see my one-up and my two-up and just sort of
00:45 바카라 사이트 00:52
explain what I wanted to do. They were massively supportive and yeah it just kind of went to.
00:52 바카라 사이트 00:56
So, with modern times now, our flexible working is really important because people expect more
00:56 바카라 사이트 1:04
flexibility. If it바카라 사이트s even for childcare or travel or a bit like Tom doing another interest like music.
1:04 바카라 사이트 1:07
Me and Tom worked together you know looking at what work we had
01:07 바카라 사이트 1:10
what meetings were coming up but we바카라 사이트re always prioritising anyway.
01:10 바카라 사이트 1:15
We just try and plan a bit further ahead for which days he was going to have off.
01:15 바카라 사이트 1:19
I feel like the RAF has that modern way of working that I can
01:19 바카라 사이트 1:22
use to my benefit, so they get more back from me in the time I am here.
01:22 바카라 사이트 1:26
It바카라 사이트s been a great balance keeping that regular income
01:26 바카라 사이트 1:30
and also to have the music aspect as well, you know getting that day a week
01:30 바카라 사이트 1:35
just to, like I say, just to prep for those gigs and sort my admin out or do any studio
01:35 바카라 사이트 1:39
Work stuff like that. It바카라 사이트s been a really good balance. For me it바카라 사이트s just been great.
