leave Einstein out of it, that'd be really cool.
To late mate, don't forget, in Russian within the allotted time period please. It's about as relavent as the RAFFT but I'm sure if someone in authority told you you had to do it...

Now what other nonsense FTs do the RAF need to fill up those moments back in the UK between ops? Oh, how about RAFFTCT? Cycling proficiency on stations is truly appalling - I remember one night on two site RAF H**** W*****e two inebriated Officers sailing past me on one of HM's velocipedes with not a care in the world and a complete disregard for the Road traffic Act 1988. My JEMS suggestion is annual fit to cycle tests with shuttle runs set at about the level of the Tour De France

But why stop there? Any other suggestions for pointless tests?
The only people that embraced the 'strengh through joy' mentality Beags mentions were in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany - if you enjoy jock-strappery go for it, just don't expect the rest of the world to fall into line because you like it.
