Interesting thread. I've been around for more years than I care to remember and still in the Andrew. Yes things have changed and we've shrunk but has life in Service changed that much? As far as I can see the boys (and girls) are as professional as ever, fly b****y good aircraft and still seem to have fun. They certainly seem to drive better cars (good old FRIs, long may they live!) and crash less. What we need to sort out is the constant attempt in the hQs and MadHouse to get rid of each other, just because one Service is shrinking a bit faster than the other two. Life would be really dull if we were all in the RAF (I think we tried that after WW1 and it didn't work).
