I shared a room at Cranwell with a guy who was ex-VR (T) and I was hit with snippets like 'things are a lot different once your in' and 'I already have my comission' he even asked for increased seniority based on time with the ATC - I was in the scouts, does that count?
Don't get me wrong the VR (T) and ATC do a great job, but there should be some demarkation.
