Ralph - in a word "no"
The best comment I've seen is
My take on PPRuNe Mil is that it is a continuation of Mess Happy Hour / Squadron Beer Calls / Section Piss Ups etc
I 100% get this. As a Fg Off on my first FL sqn I learned masses from the old sweats in the Mess Pub. Now nearly a quarter of a century later, I am that "old sweat", still serving and with the way NEM is going I might be in for another 15-20 years!!! The knowledge I gleaned to help my in my service career from retired honourary mess members was invaluable.
As for current ops, they should not live on an insecure open-to-all bulletin board - but I guess you already knew that!

PS I did leave the Regs to go FTRS, would you propose that the 400 or so FTRS mates have their own thread as well...
(alright, don't answer that!)
