MPN11,

I have to agree that things were different in your (my) days! I would not wish to change that as I had a great time! Whether things should/have changed now is another matter. I live close to a large RAF base and have the privilege to attend many functions. I have to say that the majority of the Service personnel that I meet are , in many ways, very similar to those that I remember from many years ago! Both commissioned or not they seem to have the same attitude that I remember - what has changed, of course, is the very large number of contract personnel. Many are great but there is a divide, like it or not! I guess that this is progress!
