Gee can't wait until this turns into another thread about the "youth of today" and their sense of entitlement.
Well, it just may have with your post. Self fulfilling prophecy perhaps?

Judd I spent this morning at a dawn service in Williamstown. I joined the Commandos in 1985. Our trainers were largely Vietnam veterans or people trained by them. I left the Commandos in 2010. During that 25 years the role, definition, training, qualifications etc. changed almost beyond recognition. And that was during my service. If I were to compare a 2015 Commando to a 1960 Commando they wouldn't recognise each other.
Similar for aviation. The old ways are the old ways. They belong
(for better or worse) in the past.
IMHO.
DIVOSH!
