Why are you lumping those with rich parents and those with ex-mil time together?
I am often quite surprised by the hostility I sometimes witness to ex-mil types in this industry - I taken it some had a unsuccessful attempt at Biggin Hill/Cranwell and now want to take it out on those who were successful. If you think devoting 16 Years of your life to a) Supposedly defending freedom (Although it could be argued that these days that is debatable) b) Being sent to anywhere in the world for an undisclosed amount of time at the whim of a low intelligence politician c) Moving house every three years to keep you on your toes are easy options then I despair!!!
