..... and I'm sure that I could rattle-off a list of civil aerodromes where a military controller could happily plug-in and control away.

Don't get me wrong there are big differences, at some airfields and in the AC world.
Sorry Lurking - your profile is anon so I'm unsure as to what credibility you have to make that statement. They probably could but they would be using wrong phraseology, not know how to separate Vortex wake aircraft, not be aware of the idiosyncrasies of separating IFR from VFR and SVFR flights. Not be up to speed on AFTN and CFMU flight planning issues, CTOT restriction, VFR flight at night (i.e. they cant!) use of conditional clearances, reduced separation in the vicinity of an aerodrome...and more.
