A Graduate Entry stude at Linton in the 70's volunteered for rotary, purely on the grounds that he would be scoring 1369s two reporting sessions before his mates who went to fast jets. He had the promotion game sussed
And spent the next ten years living in a tent, peeing in a bucket and eating compo while his mates were wazzing about at 450kts and 250ft before heading back to the bar.
Sounds like the bloke was a genius.
