I was told similar. Hence the details in my RAF logbooks, apart from an occasional place name, consist mainly of just exercise and task numbers. I didn't even write anything about the very cold, wet and windy night during basic jet training that my QFI and I had very good reason to find ourselves going through the ejection seat drills somewhere over Yorkshire. Thankfully we didn't quite have to carry out the final action, although I did keep a hand near the lower seat handle for what seemed quite some while on our way back to base. The one photo I do have in Vol 1 (I'm now on logbook Vol 7) is of a member of the Royal family awarding me my "wings" badge. Vol 2 has an official photo of a squadron exchange and that's it.
