OA - I attended senior staff course relatively recently and there were some dinosaurs on this as well. One Naval officer spent the course in an alcoholic haze and sniffed - and more - anything in a skirt: fellow students, staff, visiting lecturers, wives, cleaners...you name it. He also stated on more than one occasion that there was only one reason for having women aboard Naval vessels...and admitted availing himself of them on a regular basis. Meanwhile his wife and young kids were safely tucked up in Helensborough...

Two cavalry officers, when not deconflicting their orders of dress, referred to 'Wogs' and worse on a loud and regular basis; surprising, because both of them had served 'East of Suez' on several occasions. Difference was they had the personality to get away with it and there was no maliceaforethought.
