J.A.F.O
You come across as increasingly bitter and twisted about the Reds.
Let it go mate.
They *do* have a reputation as being social disasters, and my sources are biased being of the Army variety - the Cyprus experiences being some of them (has anybody else heard about the synchro food poisoning a few months back?)
But, I would argue, that is the inevitable result of being part of a team that flies close formation aerobatics. As a nine ship. I've flown formation aerobatics; trust is everything, the team is everything....and everyone else, not part of the team, post sortie, might find themselves slightly excluded from the conversation for a while. I am a rank amateur - but to live that way for two or three years, totally focussed on the team - yes, I can see why the normal social skills might atrophy.
The second hand zone bust or safety related stories, are, frankly, beyond contempt. If you have confidence in these reports as safety issue, then get on with it and deal with them in a professional manner, even after all this time, under your real names....or you can keep bitching under a pseudonym. Your choice.
