When I was an RAF Regiment flight commander one of my blokes confessed to me that he was homosexual, and wanted to get out of the service (homosexual acts were a criminal offence even in civvy street then). I was naive and sympathetic and told him I'd see what could be done. I had a quiet word with the squadron WO who told me the bloke was no more homosexual than I was (I wasn't!) and he was just trying to "work his ticket".
Anyway, don't think that reason would work these days - even in the rockapes, so I can't help!
A -A's advice is good - one of my mates left to go into Waitrose as a trainee store manager, and ended up running the whole chain, retiring with a CBE.
