Tips for VR(T) Officers in RAF Messes:
Flip flops are compulsory in the mess bar after 7.00pm in the Summer (but only in Lincolnshire).
Soup should be eaten using a staw (McDonalds straws are preferred for soups containing significant vegetable matter).
It is an RAF traditional that the during happy hour the Station Commander is addressed as 'Me Old Cock'.
Headgear is not permitted in public rooms ulnless the officer is on horseback.
I am sure my fomer colleagues will advise further little known mess rules.
