You know you are still a first rate Air Force when...
The lads and lasses coming through the training system show the same determination and enthusiasm as the Few
You don't give a monkey's what a bunch of retired old farts on an internet website say.
You're proud to go into work each day because you feel the job you do is a million times more worthwhile than any of your civvy friends.
You're not bitter because you weren't promoted to whatever level your ego thought you had earned.
You know that the capability your sqn can deploy is at least ten times that than was possible a couple of decades ago.
