I was on a Flt Cdt entry, then went to University for a few years of applied Chipmunkery and drunken debauchery interspersed with the odd lecture - it beat the heck out of Knocker, Ferris and Chimay! But when I returned to RAFC to finish off OT and to do my JP course, the atmosphere just wasn't the same.
I think it went downhill when they let oiks from that secondary modern place in Bedforshire become Cranwell Flt Cdrs..... Things became even worse when it merged with the College...
