You can't sit there on your friggin' high horse slating Seldom's use of the word 'selection', inferring that he's comparing himself to the SAS ! Pathetic. It's just a word, the correct word. RAF aircrew are SELECTED to do the various roles, because they have passed a series of stringent tests at the Officer and Aircrew SELECTION Centre. Nobody was suggesting it was Iron Man. Just because the Navy call it something different, that's not our fault.
No, it wasn't just ASW crewmen but CHF too, not telling me how marvellous I am, just how some of the things I'd learnt over the length of my training was quite different to them. This was often evident at Staneval time, when revising. You may go on the defensive, but this is how it was.
I won't even furnish your attempt for a rise that RAF and AAC crewmen are the same with a response.
