I'm pretty sure the 'us and them' segregation at Syerston happened well before JM came on the scene... Last time I was there, there was a sign on the door of the crewroom in the tower decreeing that visiting instructors (irrespective of rank) were not allowed in at lunch time.
Visiting Officers and CGIs had to spend their down-time in the trainee crewroom with the cadets on scholarships. I kid you not.
