Does the paperwork still get stamped LMF these days or is there a politically correct euphemism?
Well done Lookingnorth - thats just the sort of post that got the previous thread pulled .

A chum of mine who had lost his brother in a fatal in the 70's was quietly shunted onto Ops for the last year or so of his service, with no-one thinking the worse of him, even though his nerve had patently gone.

Anyone using the term LMF about him would have got very short shrift from the rest of us. We may have been a rough old bunch on tankers, but we werent dinosaurs!
