But whenever there's a change in the rules:

The RAF falls over backwards to comply before they know what the change actually means, then have to recover from the initial overreaction.

The Army mumbles something about labradors and eventually changes a couple of things to comply, once they've seen what a bolleaux the RAF made of the interpretation.

The RN says "Yes", turns a Nelsonian eye to the order and does nothing.

Or was it just that too many RN courts martial members have briefed themselves by watching 'Mutiny on the Bounty' rather than by studying the legal guides?
