There is no Army Act anymore. The three services are now subject to a single disciplinary code as from ... a little while ago...

I have not seen it nor do i know how it is presented. However, I shall miss Section 69 of the Air Force Act "Conduct to the Prejudice of good order and air force discipline...." That would catch you if nothing else did.

The same is true of service writing - now called "Defence Writing". No more: 'Sir, I have the honour' and that sort of stuff and they've done away with the wonderfully named: 'Air Force Board Letter of Grave Displeasure' which always began: 'Sir, I am commanded by the Air Force Board of the Defence Council to express their lordships grave displeasure' and then went on to tell you why you were a plonker!

How times have changed.
