I suspect that most of those airing their minor gripes here still look back on their time in uniform with pleasure and pride, remembering the unique experiences, achievements and friendships they had along he way. Of course you have to take the rough with the smooth, but that is true in every walk of life - as the saying goes, if you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined. If they're anything like me they're not much interested in the opinion of failed air cadets and the other civilian clingons that hang around here.
Who said I was a failed cadet? 😁
I have nothing but admiration for the armed forces and those that make a career in them. It just wasn't for me.
Nice to see that you are so uninterested that you posted a 19 line rant though. 🙄
