Weeman, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I was chopped around the end of JEFTS in 2000 and it still stings to this day because I loved it so much. However, I count myself fortunate in a couple of ways: the first being that I won't get the chance to stoof in and possibly take at least one mate with me, the second being that it happened very very early, and, having just seen a few mates chopped from the (proper) Merlin and Lynx courses in the vinegar strokes, wasn't literally in sight of the end. I had another mate whom many of your may know who got well through the GR4 OCU, got chopped, and retrained Nav. As far as I know he's done well but it must have been appalling for him (alright Phats?).
