When LGB ceases to mean l@ser Guided Bomb, but Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual........
And EO Trg doesn't refer to electro-optics, it refers to official political correctness and the avoidance of thoughtcrime.

Some old boot and a shiny-faced zealot appeared on our squadron to deliver the ridiculous EO video and lecture. They waited in the crewroom and nosed through 'King and Country', which our resident humourist had amended to include suitable captions. Under a picture of an RAFP rozzer talking to a couple of black chaps in a Belize Defence Force Land.Rover was the caption "Your car, is it sir?".

"You see, you see - just the sort of prejudice we're trying to stop!", squeaked the idiot zealot.

"Well, just who do you think is having the pi$$ taken?", he was asked. "Can't you see it's the cop, not the lads in the wagon?".

It got worse in the brief, when they mentioned some ridiculous trophy to be awarded to the top 'visible ethnic minority' of the year. "Not so much Top Dog as Top W*g", someone quipped. "Hey - I'm an African who happens to be white", said our resident Yarp. "WTF is a 'non-visible' ethnic minority?".

The 2 pratts then quit the fix mumbling all sorts of complaints, but we weren't bothered again with another such cr@p session.

EO nonsense - I was given a certificate of completion and hunted high and low for a pink, fluffy frame in which to mount it.....
