Guys, I'm ex-light blue with much contact with the dark blue throughout my career of nearly 40 years. I suggest this is the place to put our differences aside when discussing such serious topics as the future effectiveness of our Armed Forces - attitudes such as those displayed by the likes of Sharkey Ward belong in the dark ages.
Like it or not, jointery is here to stay, the way of working in the future. And rightly so.
So can we keep inter-Service rivalry/banter to the more light-hearted topics?
