I was an F/E on Hastings seconded in Belize.
We had just landed and went to the bar in KD uniform.
A 'lady', who clearly was not on her first martini, looked us over and asked "Which 'military' are you boys from?" Someone said "The Royal Air Force". "and which country is that?" she responded. Bewildered, someone else said it referred to Great Britain.
"Ah...then I suggest you ask your Queen to fit you boys with nicer uniforms!"
We looked at each other and agreed she was drunk.....but correct. We looked terrible.
