CASBO,
Virtually every thread in here ends up in the manner you describe, the whole forum is populated with sad sorry civilians who simply can't let go and feel obliged to witter on about the "good old days"
The likelihood in here of a military thread for military folk with only military folk commenting is like hens ******* teeth, it's about time the Mods changed the forum title to
Military Aircrew a forum for military, sad sorry ex military folk who have not been able to find a life outside the military and need to use Pprune as a social crutch, any other sad ****er with even the most tenuous link to the military and those who love the whoosh that aircraft make.
Just about covers the daily input to this forum
