toddbabe, could not agree more.
Working I was at work. Off duty I was just that. If I was closeted (sorry about that) with a crew or others for hours at a time off duty I wanted a bit of space.
Flying 60-70 hours a month and squeezing in 4 sims plus sundry other bits and bobs with my major secondary duty - Mrs PN and kids - does not leave much time for the rest of the trivia.
150 odd officers and another 150 odd MAcr and SNCOs kicking around, besides the odd bit of snow clearance (actually can't remember any significant snow at ISK 'cept one night we could not get in for a crew party) left plenty of keen bods for the few really jobs.
Our Eng Ldr, once he was grounded, as he had PVRd, as OC Wood Working made me a wonderful rocking horse. Spent many happy hours since looking for sh1t but not found any yet.
