Getting back to my earlier post when I speculated what I would have to say if I was his Sqn Cd, I've mulled over this and spoke to several colleagues about it.

I'd probably commiserate with him on his public exposure, but also counsel him on the need for greater discretion and not giving others ammunition that could be used back at him. I'd probably go a bit po-faced and stress that being a good officer is not just about being an increadibly popular and wealthy, and being surrounded by fruity young women...

And then probably haul out my QR 1074 (remember those?) which has the memorable line :'WP you are rapidly becoming a burden on the RAF',* stressing that there is a time and a place and that most of us have been there and got through it, too
.



* it was the short, sharp, shock I needed to get my life back on the rails, drink less and focus more on my professional duties (ie grow up!).
