Fer Chrissake folks. There IS nowhere else for the military wannabes to ask their questions. Yes - some of the questions are crass, but they soon get the massage when they are flamed. It, however, is definitely worth keeping the place open for those who are bright and sensible so that they can get "horse's mouth" answers that they can't - genuinely - get elsewhere. Put up with the dross so that we can "trap" the really worthwhile nuggets that we need. And never forget that you once asked bleedin' stupid questions - even if you don't remember doing so. Ask your first instructor!!! Also remember that if the question is stupid, then you don't have to grace it with a response. Try also to remember that some of these kids are really young and don't know what to do, what to ask or where to go! When we kick them in the crotch we turn off what could potentially be just what we need in the future when they mature. Sorry if this sounds patronising - it's not meant to be but ---- have a heart!!!!!
