We were commissioned a short while after the 'bitter and twisted' 97 entry became Senior Entry. I gather a few scores were settled before we left for 3-4 years.....

So how did it work BEagle? Were you commissioned more or less straight away on university cadet terms as APOs on the university cadet salary and did you eventually return to the Towers on a graduate entry course?
