A more divisive and segregated system I have never seen surpassed.
Yes we had models, and you tried to sit within your own section, but it was not a sin if you didn't. Conversation was normal as in any SNCO mess in the RAF.
Maybe the SNCO's just didn't want an Hossifer sitting with them talking down at them!.
