For my sins, I was once a military instructor at a large MOD training school. My oppo was a civilian instructor (ex RAF Cpl, then a civil servant IO grade). The Chief Instructor (a Lt Col) sent out some missive or other, which came in the internal mail. Mick, never one to give a monkey's at the time, marked (as in school teacher marking homework) the memo in red pen and sent it back in the internal mail.
