You have captured the exact spirit of what I was trying to say in post #2. Guys joining now won't know any better and will love the job regardless. If not, they will leave. Ever has it been thus!
If I'm honest I find it moderately offensive the way some of the 'old and bold' continue to slag off today's military because it isn't the same organisation they joined back in 1962 (or whenever). I think some people need to get over themselves and accept the fact that the world will continue to evolve and sadly things will change. Not always for the better but c'est la vie. If people hadn't accepted change in the past we would never have had an Airforce and we'd still be using aircraft for artillery spotting.
I'm glad that certain individuals are enjoying their new lives in the big, wide world. Just let those still in the military enjoy their time and quit your whining. It's boring!
