I was brought-up in a tri-service environment and not long before I left the military we really started to think Joint. If Defence is to remain relevant, we don't need idiots spouting-off about what colour a particular capability should be painted.

IMHO, the really good senior officers I worked for were purple through-and-through. They understood and respected the individual attributes and skills that we all brought to the party.
Well said that man!

I joined in the bad old days but am pleased to see that approaching retirement, things are slowly changing for the better. If all memebers of all 3 services don't realise that our future lies together (when did it not? ) then we will surely succumb.
