Certainly, I honestly have to say I thought the RAFs drinking culture was stronger than the FAA (and I don't want to start a row, just my honest observation around the world). This actually increased my respect for the crabs, in a younger mans way.
Is it really necessary to enforce this new rule?
Another shot to the body of the prone UK armed forces?
Why now?
I've been in many tight spots of bother for our lovely Queen and although I hate to say it, a drink often got me through it all, usually afterwards down the messdeck with my mates>? Or in the pub.

Familiar at all levels>? what is the problem> Is the date 2013 the problem?
