Things became a lot more relaxed in the early days of the Graduate Entry scheme. Duty 14 GE morning hoister-upper was woken up by furious banging on the door from duty 13 GE saluter. "Phil, get a move on, it's flag time in 5 minutes" was answered by "Don't worry, Karl - did it last night on my way back from the pub. No-one'll notice; see you later when I've got rid of this hangover..."
And no-one ever did notice!
One of my worst moments was wondering whether the plate glass wall in the so-called air raid shelter at KKIA was Scud-proof.... Outbound Patriots at Mach several certainly made it shake!
