From the perspective of a retired old fart - 16 yrs Mil/25 years civil - I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the thread with equal amounts of common sense and arrogant nonsense from contributors. Please keep it going and never let the truth get in the way of good old fashioned rumour and innuendo.
nb If I could go back to 1978 and rejoin I would do it like a shot - might do a bit better second time around !
Good Luck Chaps
