Interesting that all these blokes who have PVR'd or have left the service sometime ago to start a new "llife", are sadly spending their sundays logged on to a military web site. Let it go guys !!
Hah!
I think, in most cases, PVR was undertaken with some regret. Ex-serving posting on this website demonstrates the esteem still held for a shared ethos and history, and a concern that it is going down the toilet. I am sure that old soldiers (etc) have complained about modern innovations since bronze weapons were replaced by iron ones, but the current obsession with management and spin is hardly a revolution in military affairs!
