Hey, for what it's worth banter's what makes the air force. creeping PC-isms drive me up the wall. I can banter as well as most (although obviosuly hindered by learning some of my worst banter from the Marines!). I think we need to be able to take more than the average girlie - we might be anywhere in the world alongside other services and other people and we might be being shot at (I have been).
No problem.
I have also had one flt cdr attempt to rape me twice and had one sqn cdr rape me. I was younger and less wise, and didn't report anything because I (misguidedly) thought my career mattered more. All water under the bridge - thankfully - now but don't you ever confuse banter with nasty violent sexual abuse which is still a feature of the RAF (no it's not just the Army). If you don't understand the difference, you need to have a long hard think.
