Remember reading a 1369 (RAF Officers' Confidential Report) once on a newly promoted sqn ldr who (poor s*d) was posted to MoD on promotion. His 1st reporting officer commented on the "adventurous suits" he wore - clearly not pukka MoD pinstripes.

A subsequent very senior reporting officer (1* or 2*, a "spirited" officer IIRC), who had clearly read the academic details on the front page, finished his write up with:
If we continue to recruit 2:2s in Environmental Science from L********r University we'll probably have to learn to live with the adventurous suits!
But the subject retired as a wg cdr, so must have got something (w)right!
