Apologies, P6 - absolutely no slight intended. The subject was the PoW's career path and - for better or worse - he's in the Cranwell/Dartmouth/Sandhurst intake.
My point would have been better made if I'd specified any Service career, on the strength that it requires commitment to a set of unselfish ideals, a life of comradeship lived by an agreed code and the ultimate readiness to "do and die." An honourable profession, regardless of the size of your cap badge.
