The airforce can be pretty cruel too...they drastically reduce your hours after initial unit training, and then yearly after that. There's checks 6 monthly that are pretty terrifying which can spell lengthly spells driving desks if you don't pass (or don't join in the bottom spanking and upside down whiskey drinking larrikins) and everyone is expected to do less flying as time goes on and more admin...never underestimate the defence force for producing admin!!
On the bright side, a moustache seems less important in your long term career these days!
