Too right, Blacksheep, as another long-departed SNCO I heartily agree. Vive la difference!!
The more I read in these forums of life in the Mob nowadays, the happier I am that I left 21 years ago. I really don't think I could stomach the crap which appears to go on now. I would not wish to dine with Officers OR Other Ranks, my Mess was for me and my ilk, long may it remain so. If that appears to some as living in the past and wishing for "the old days", so be it. This erosion of recognition of the differences in rank/status cannot do any good, IMHO.
Ducks back behind parapet to await incoming!
Kind regards,
TheNightOwl.
