Doors Off,
I found the culture at the Caribou Sqn (38 at Amberley when I was in) exactly as you describe. In fact looking back I still believe it is the best workplace I have ever had, military or civilian. It all came down to the people. The Caribou crews and ground staff were always a very friendly, inclusive bunch. The Sqn had a healthy social scene and a real camaraderie that I have not found anywhere else. Very happy times.
