Twinact,
I dont have a chip on my shoulder, far from it. I have a lot of friends who are aircrew. If I wanted to have a pop at any of them I would abuse them as they walked past the desk. As for them being lesser than me nope, I appreciate what they do and how they do it. I had my chance at being aircrew and didnt take it, such is life.
I cant see the probelm about how the forum is running now as its open, those outside of the military can contribute easily. People can ask questions about the forces etc so whats the problem? Another example is the Buccaneer thread, full of humour so why should Joe Public not get to see how Military guys think and laugh?
I cant see the need for individual forums thats all, the Army have their aviation one on Arrse but they dont lock it out.
