Agree with the bit about "the candadate needs to be eligible in the purely military sense and show some additional qualities", trouble is, too many people now get things all ar$e about face and concentrate on running the scout pack first and actually being a good aviator/SNCO/leader of men etc comes a poor second.....but hey, what a great scout camp they had this year!
Frankly, I like my own time to be just that, and can't be ar$ed trying to impress others with what I did at the weekend, life's too short.
Some of my hobbies involve me in other social groups beyond the military, but to think I partake just to get Brownie points insults all those friends I have in said outside circles
