Interestingly I held pre-OCU on FJTS and worked with your son briefly. I flew with him once on my first ever Jag trip in a T2(38000' overhead Boscombe Down on NVGs watching traffic in and out of Paris and Manchester simultaneously, followed by an engine surge when we exceeded about 20 degrees AOB).
His is always the case that I quote when discussing the University versus DE dilemma. By the age I had finished the Jag OCU, your son was on his third front line tour. So despite the fact that he will never have experienced the life affirming delights of watching Countdown whilst existing in abject poverty that I did during my four years of Uni' he seems to have done alright for himself!
Food for thought perhaps.
