Courtney,
Your idea of throwing open PPrune to the floor is a good one.
However, I fear most of the current serving proliteriat have either stopped using the site or are infrequent visitors, for many reasons.
Yes, I know......therefore it would be a very quiet place until the habit grew again. What a shame.
When I leave the military, ill probably spend more time looking at Flight Global, Shepard et al.... And have the occasional glance back to see how things are. Indeed.....glancing back will have no benefit for the future...just make me reminisce, which will be nice.
My personal view on those involved is this:
If you are any way involved.......stores, clerk, pilot, engineer...you are in. Isn't that what our HF training says?
The views expressed about this topic are a reflection of the current members....as it should be..
This however, speaks volumes about the "mil" thread.
IMHO
