Nick me lad! It is legal....not compulsory! Don't be in too big a rush to get in touch with your other side. I always wondered if Teetotaling was bad for you...now I know! The thought of a Cobra pilot....in fishnets and a teddy....just doesn't seem to square with my recollections of what gunnies seemed to be.
Maybe that macho manly stuff was just a facade?
