I agree with your comments Twon. Likewise, I think you do get the impression that some people would still prefer some sort of stipulation that new arrivals at Cranwell should somehow avoid announcing their sexual preferences unless questioned on the subject. That's all well and good, providing the person in question isn't going to feel obliged to hide his partner away (if he has one) until everybody else graciously decides that it's appropriate! I'm tempted to cringe at the very mention of terms like "Officer-like behaviour" when I consider what this sometimes translates into. Some of the more entrenched homophobes would probably collapse with shock!
