Actually I think it is a great idea.
Gus Walker didn't write and congratulate me on joining and I just got a squiggle in my logbook on graduating.
At least I got a very nice letter from the Commandant of the Staff College on passing the ISS. I even got a very nice letter from a sqn ldr for an LG Groves entry.
As for my valedictory? I wrote it myself. I thought my boss was sort of OK until after I left and I emailed him in the Falklands, as requested. Zilch.
Now a framed certificate from Betty would be something I could hang, without embarrassment, on my I Love Me wall in the garage.
