As a mere 4t6th `rook` I have to agree with you on the B/E point.. I hated it at the time but on reflection 50 years on they were great times. 39 years service and I don't regret a minute.
As for joining today - I expect I would as I would have no knowledge of how it was - those times have passed and are as relevant as fuel in the bowser after take off.
Nonetheless I was privileged to visit 4 SofTT this year 50 years after attesting in 62. We were hosted at lunch by some airmen trainees and I was so impressed with their enthusiasm and dedication so early in their careers..Great stuff.
No,, Its not what it used to be...but life goes on - good luck to them all
