Rude C'man i think that you are being a little harsh. Granted there are some really bone questions asked and yes the constant repetition of posts is thoroughly annoying. The fact remains that this forum is excellent for current affairs and really good for getting the 'horses mouth' view on issues.
I think that a mil wannabe's forum would be good, but i also think that making this forum private would not be a good move. It is just that posts such as 'Cranwell...again' are examples of people joining the military wanting the 'in side' view, without having to ask a careers officer and worry about whether he will judge you for asking a stupid question. Make a forum for the bone questions, but don't exclude us mere motals from this forum...thanks
