Staff College Bracknell
Top thread, not had so much fun for ages. Not read them all, but want to offer this before I forget it, hope it's not here somewhere:
During staff college stint the then comdt (AVM P-E) used to always open his first talk to the eager attendees with the words: "Ladies and gentlemen, as all the brightest and best come through these doors, statistically I could be talking to a future CAS, in that case "Good Morning, Sir"".
Voice from back row, "Thank you, please carry on".
Not a sound from anyone else and AVM P-E (with sense of humour) just carried on, leaving one very relieved young thruster in the back row.
Would love to know if he made it, should almost be there by now!.
